Dont forget that as good as this is, there is no way an adult would fit in the back, those seats are purely for kids! I could hardly get myself in/out let alone close the door once I was in it.

Good point PoisonEagle. It would be pretty easy to justify the extra few k for the Merc over the HSV!

I’m surprised nobody has noticed this is .2 seconds quicker than HSV quotes for its up and coming 7.0L car and will probably be cheaper too. Probably more solid, comfortable, quieter, better quality,more frual more nimble, more fun more German I could go on.
PS I love Aussie cars but it seems odd, as HSV had a significant value advantage with the GTS300 against similarly powered Euro rockets (E39 M5, E55 XJR et al)in 1999.

A colleague has ordered one, and he was fortunate enough to attend the drive day at Mt Panorama on Monday.

He got to do about 6 laps all up with various “co-drivers” including Mick Doohan and Will Davison…. He said that (un)fortunately, it was electronically speed limited to 255kph and the traction control was turned on. Good thing that traction control, because without it, we may have been attending some funerals next week!

Hearing his stories, I found myself considering re-mortgaging the house and getting into one of these beasts, but alas, I find them so damn bland!!

Hey JBOT………ease up babe not the same as the 318 poverty.

I give you its lacking but of the one Mercs I have ever owned that was 4 times as much as any 3 series at the time I took it back cause of faults in the burr walnut!hahaha true story along with the CD player that kept skipping.Funny how you get fussier the more you spend on a car.

I like AMG …..hey its the only Merc I practically do like but BMW M range is about drivers experience not what the interior is like. I mean if you want luxury go Lexus,boring but they have luxury in mind.

Mr Funk………….really now there’s a surprise.hehehe
BMW M and AMG is a HUGE step up from HSV,hell the guy that owned my M3 before me owned a club sport and another I know traded his GTP in on a NEW M3 cause he was sick of being hassled by the cops in it,go figure! Oh and he up graded to an M5 from the M3 no going backwards…..
