    Thought these would make a good pair. Albeit both 2 door, the MB is much more of a cruiser for longer trips, but looks amazing (inside and out). The R8 makes a great daily beast and the sound is amazing--just an NA ho when it comes to sound.

    Any who...should keep me busy for a while. Will grab AMG GTs in the next 6 months probably (unless MB dealer can get GTR for me).

    After selling 458, waiting for 488's to keep dropping...pretty amazing how much they have over the past 45 days...Feb-Mar should be good time.

    Yeah more optical illusion based upon angle of parking. But the S550 Coupe is almost as long as a pickup.

    Congrats. I drove an Audi in November. Thought it was really something special. I don't think anything can touch it for the prices they are moving now. Could be a car I pick up in summer. Enjoy them in good health!

    Thanks guys. The V10+ is a beast...and the elegant S550 coupe is the perfect balance. Car for every occasion (outside of off roading).

    We are considering a new S550 Coupe to replace my wife's 2013 SL550. I have been driving the S550 for the last 15 years. We have a long happy history with Mercedes & Ferrari. Are you pleased with the Coupe and do you have any disappointments you would share with us?
    Thank you very much.
