Sorry about the pics, weather is crap. Picked up on Tuesday and could do with a clean already

You see I dont really like mercs, but the lines on this one are just lovely man, only thing I dont like is the wing mirror inserts, I assume its the indicators, they could have easily made them alot more asphetically pleasing on the eye, but nice styled car overall, shame the interiors usually let them down though.
 
Not blown out by the colour tbh - just dont like red cars sorry ! But I do like the shape of the new range of Mercs - just very well styled.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the indicators LOL. The car is the sport version with the AMG bodykit and wheels. Also the interior is actually quite nice for a merc. Half leather and black maple inserts. What gets me is this car was 5k less than the S3 and there is a whole load of extras which Audi would charge for.
1. Electric seats
2. Electric folding mirrors
3. Rain sensitive wipers
4. Auto headlights
5. Parking sensors, front and rear
6. First Aid kit
7. Bluetooth phone prep
8. Flat tyre warning

I am sure there are more things, but you get the drift. Love my Audis and would never have anything else, but they could do better with the standard spec.

I think its just the bad photos. Everone who has seen it has said the colour is fantastic. I don't like red either, but in reality and with a better camera LOL it is a very bright rich red. The colour is fire opal red
 
I got a taxi in one of those in Sardinia. It was nice man, as taxis go :)
 
I think these are gorgeous - I'll probably get shot for this on here, but I think they often look better than a lot of new A4s, which are very dependent on colour and spec. A4 Avant might be better looking than the estate version though.

Just horses for courses, and only my opinion!
 
Will post up a quick review mate... got he C63 in the morning and the SLK55 in the afternoon - my girlfriend is trying to influence me...
