I hope to grab one to keep before they are out of production.
Not big enough to replace the Escalade ESV and all its utility right now.

A present and future classic for sure.

Cheers.

Very nice ride. My father has the same G55AMG 2008 model, with white designo leather, very nice. Just one day ago returned from Riga, was driving it for 300km, its not an easy thing, not very comfortable campering to my cayenne turbo or sl 55 amg 2008.

But it is deffinetly a car on which every one looks, and its sounds the best!

don't get annoyed every time the cup holder on the passenger side goes flying if someone hits it with their thighs, you'll get used to it, but its annoying. congrats on the car

oh and get usd to the stiff ride, if it bothers you alot, replace it with the g500 shocks/suspension and it should be sick.

Guys, thanks a lot for your comments and wishes!

ara - thx for the message, I tried to send you PM but could not do it because I have less than 15 posts. Could you please send me your email? I will answer your questions.

j.a.cadet - I have to agree with you on the Brabus rims! But for now I am not planning to put any rims on it. Stock looks good too =)

English Chap - thank youuuuu

Kuzi - we are almost twins Nice shoes!

kaz555 - I drove it today from NYC to DC and stiffness of the suspension bothered me a bit. Obviously it's very different from my 7-series, but I'll like it and will get used to it. Performance is great! I test drove Cayenne T and it was too crazy for me =)

Soykher - No, it's registration plate from Kazakhstan. We don't have this euro thin (blue) on the left but I asked for it to make it a bit custom =)

alkyoneus - thank you for the useful information.

rlebwohl - What a small world! Me and my family had a great experience at your dealership. Dale was very nice and knowledgeable. I tried to make "business" with Prestige MB but I guess they are too busy to sell SLRs and S65s...oh well.

Well congrats again KA3. You'll get use to the stiffness. Its not a truck made for long distance hauling. I'm sure you have other vehicles for that purpose. But as an urban combat machine (daily grind within reason ).........nothing beats it.
