AMG cars are $hit ???
German taxi cabs??? bad reliability?? average materials?
I would buy my S550 again despite the fact it costs twice as much as the V because in my opinion it's TWICE the car.
Old cts-v technology?? umm my friend they have been making it for 8 years and still can't get the wheels to hook up. rear diff problems - rattles-wheel hop- below average build quality ect and nothing has changed since 04 to 2011 except more power that doesn't work.....
hink
CL65 and E63 will run circles around it as all-around performers. Saw a C63 (same price as a V) on the track out run a V stock vs stock.
End of story- move on and enjoy your V. |
Look TOBY... I'm gonna respond to your tired argument and move on afterwards. :emoticon7:
1) My '09 V has been exemplary. Everyone I kno who owns one agrees that it is a better car than some POS Benz.
2) My brother has a S550. It's TRASH. He hates it and at the end of his lease thank GOD... and is considering a used STS-V to replace it
3) It clearly says in my post that I have had experience driving and running various AMG cars. I don't speak about a car unless I've run that SOB for a nice bit of hrs behind the wheel. While I am certainly in love with the sheer power of the AMG vehicles... they are still unreliable from my observation and various experiences hearing an earful of how shitty they are. Check around... my word is GOLD
4) The E63AMG is a nice machine... and so is the C63AMG but neither will "run circles around" a CTS-V, CTC-V, or CTW-V. I have seen the same episode of "U Wish" as U have and each one... the CTS-V beat their ass... and lost in the comparo because of better leather offered at a $10K-20K premium.
5) I'm glad U have had a good thing in owning Benz...
millions have not.. and as far as I'm concerned I'm glad Cadillac is now in the game of offering world class SPORT-LUXs that will put the Germans to shame. I love America.. I won't ever support Germany or Asia's car industry if I can help it.
The day I buy a Benz will the same day that there is a Glock 9 pressed firmly against my head, and a knife to neck... pushing me to sign the dotted line to accept delivery:(
