I think they are the best cars in the world.

I nearly spray my shorts any time I see one up close.

Thats half the appeal of them. People love the BMW M5 becasue it looks like a family sedan, with a top speed of 300km/h.

Dont have to say only Joking.

With the money you saved, you could make you XR go very fast. Probably put a decent deposit on a house too.

There is a hypo version of the SLR being released not in aust though called the Mercedes McLaren 722 but the E55 or the coming E63 will do me just fine but i think id rather an Audi RS6 Avant i just love german cars they really know how to build them there

AMG Merc's are just pure sex! So classy on the outside, pimping on the inside but like a wild beast once you open the throttle.

When i was living in London last year the guy in the apartment next door had an SL55 AMG Coupe, 5.5L supercharged 8. That use to rumble the building when he pulled down the driveway, my favourite car now.

Thats it with its back facing the camera, the Merc in the middle is a 4 door AMG of some sort forgot what kind though.



It looked the same as these, with white leather interior and electric hardtop :eclipsee_

I honestly couldn't decide between a SLR McLaren or an RS6 they are both insanely orgasmic cars and i would kill for both, Even an RS4 would be fantastic............Why can't i win the lotto :

I think he means the back of the one on the left...
Anyway, I'd take the newer S65 over the S55, that would be insane.

I still think the E39 is the best looking 4 door sedan. I'd be happy enough with a 523i.

My g/f's dad is a motoring journo (new car everyweek) and he had an Audi S4 i went for a rap in that god it was awesome. He was supposed to have an Audi RS4 last week but the one he was to get got smashed up big time in syd by another journo, and seen as they are limited he never got another one instead an Audi A4 3L diesel (bloody good bar by the way) but i would have loved to go in the RS4. I wish they still made RS6's
