Northeast Mercedes AMG Meet. 56k warning

[Militant-Grunt]

Okay.. I know its mercedes meet, but they are still fine german auto's, so I feel like sharing with you guys =) ( Dont hate me for this )

( I arrive /cheer )

A guy who had a ML500, decided to bring his new porsche that he bought a day earlier.

Lovely day for a car show :/

Something about Mercedes... When I see a lot full of them like this, I don't think "enthusiasts' meet," I think "executive parking lot."

thats an awesome awesome set of pics, thanks so much for the pics matt! The E in the last pic is bloody awesome. Too bad about the north american headlight cluster though, it would've looked so much nicer with the original european style lights.

LOL and in the background of the pic, i think the Porsche guy went to the wrong meet

Nice pictures, was that at MBUSA in Montvale? Really nice AMG cars showed up.

Now for the hate:
-The E55's "GRROWL" license plate is pretty tacky...I think the sports car + vanity plate representing the car = way played out.
-Mercedes needs to make manual tranny for the lower-model AMG cars such as the SLK55 and C55.

We actually asked them about that.. they said they are going to lean to SMG style transmissions, but slightly different than what every other company has.

 

[mclarensmps]

doesnt the current SLK55 come in stick?

 

[Militant-Grunt]

No it does not. No AMG's do.
The SLK has a 7 speed transmission though..

 

[Chesty Bonds]

While I must admit that I'm no fan of AMG (no offense intended), I have to say that the SL is one awesome looking car.

 

[mclarensmps]

damn, being a mercedes fan and all i kept telling people the SLK was the only AMG that came in a manual... crap, im gonna look moronic going back on my word lolol. Ah well. Gotta bite the bullet every once in a while.

That really is surprising though... The world shouldnt be robbed of manual transmissions like this... we should make some sort of stand against the manufacturers :\

 

[tool fan]

That is crazy.....I lOVE MB 55 and 65 series cars.....but living here in Germany, I have NEVER seen a C55 EVER. Wonder if it is a US specific model.

I believe you can get the SLK 350 with a manual.. But not an SLK55 Amg.

 

[kornkid8600]

Yeah you can get the SLK350 in manual and the C350 in manual but thats it. AMG models all come with automatic trannys. I actually emailed them about custom ordering one/ any particular model with a manual transmission but they said they don't do that. Odd thing was I saw new E class models in Rome in manual so yeah..it really depends on the market they go after.
