Envious!!!!!!

Seriously, one of Benz's best designs in a long time, much better looking than the current SL.

Also love that red/burgandy paint. Pisses me off that people order some truly beautiful exotic metal and paint it in some dull greyscale, black or white color. Its like, can't you have some personality with the color, its a car that costs as much as a house, please order it in a different color than what you get on a 20k Honda Civic.

Also post up some pics with the exhaust note. AMG Benz has always delivered some serious sounding V8's.

From what I have been seeing of the colors like this, when you see them in person they pop in a way a picture just doesn't
I think this car looks even better in person in most colours

Saw one in person at a MB dealership, it's a beautiful machine. I tried to toy with one the other day on highway but he didn't bite

Personally, I like the single horizontal slat in the grill versus the vertical ones.
Thank you
I particularly like the rear wing, it's just the right size to complement the car.
I am also not a fan of the panamericana grill on next year's GT models.

No, I did not do euro delivery, maybe the original title is a bit misleading ?

Yes Henry, the fixed wing is just the right size IMO, and really complements the car. The standard wing that pops up at higher speed doesn't look good at all .I already got a lot of looks, questions and compliments from strangers since I got it, even though I have not driven it much. ​​​​​​​

Thanks ChrisNext to each other, the GTS is considerably lighter than the LS.It also has a wider range of hue under different lights than the LS.As for the exhaust note, I haven't had the chance to hear it full throttle yet, as I have not broken it in yet, can't wait.
