paul84 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Any of you guys seen or drove the new AMG hatchback from Merc? Thinking of selling my yellow 370Z privately then getting the Merc, getting to the time of my life where I need to start thinking slightly more practical!

choptop Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Have to say the Merc is not on the top of my list of cars to own. More of an Audi lover than a Merc or BMW man myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 You mean the one that looks like a punto/kia from the rear, well the standard A class does any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Big Merc dealership and HO here in MK, and seen a couple of these, tried to follow one the other week. They just go, and keep on going, abit like a Skyline/RS6 in that respect. See it launch from a standstill, and its very impressive, id imagine it would humiliate quite a few fast cars from a standing start. Very good looking cars in the flesh too, very AMG.

WhackyWill Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Cool car, had a few Mercs, last one was a SL500 AMG in black, which according to the "old Bill" is now living in Bulgaria... :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemansim Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Good looking car but not good to drive. "What car" gave it 2 star rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Watched a couple of reviews of these, really dont like the look of it though, looks like a standard hatchback with a merc bumper slapped on. Inside does look rather ice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there you go..!! The fifth generation SL was in production between 2002 and 2008. The all-new SL (initially just a 5.0 L SL500 version) featured a retractable hardtop (marketed as the Vario Roof) available on the SLK since 1997. This featured a 5.0 L 302 hp (225 kW) V8, with a 5.4 L AMG Supercharged V8 appearing in 2002's SL55 AMG. V12 engines are available in the SL600 and the limited-production SL65 AMG and the SL350 3.7 L (3724 cc) 18-valve V6 245 hp in some markets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Yes see the amg is sl55 with the 5.4 supercharged engine, the sl500 was just a 5l v8. No amg and a a massive price difference to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
