Mercedes CLS shooting brake

[Old Hack]

The new sl500 are now capable of 0-60 in 4.6 seconds same as the old 55 that's really not usable despite your whimsical wannabe wish I had an AMG wankfest.

In fact the new 500 is so bloody quick the merc are offering nearly 20k off a 63 for anyone that wants one.

I am content that by buying the 350 I get all the comfort of the 500 with a lighter engine more fuel efficient engine and the same performance as the previous 500 which was more than enough for me. I dont want to race dicks in audis thats the sort of thing sad idiots in rep waggons pull. I am set up to keep this one until the next one is launched in 2020.

Feel free to let us know when you get your AMG

You really are a cock and a half aren't you. You've not only bought the 2nd most depreciating Merc, you're joyous about it You are the 1 in 50 who pay out for the cooking versions. We salute you.

I don't wish I had an AMG, for if I wanted one, after my wife and I contracting for 15 years, I could piss one out of small change, but I don't go in for depreciation, for I am a bright chap. I paid £25ish for mine, the wife paid 20ish for hers. Mine was £80k new (I bought two years old), the wifes was £54k new.

You do realise, all that started this, was if you wanted a performance estate car, the best one was the RS6, which it is. If I really wanted to go and lose 50k overnight, I'd buy one of those.

And anyway, you were ******* denying buying one earlier, now you're cock-a-hoop about it. I think you tell more lies than MF.

and I was not day dreaming, it really does have three sitting spaces in the back.

I don't want to be the pedant, but try sitting 3 adults across that seat. You can already see he's halfway across the seat next to him.

Bobspud, or may I call you BS as it seems more apt. You're a very strange man, one whom I think the whole deal is not being wrong, that's what fires you, but you're wrong all over the place here. You talk about the SL500 being as quick as the old AMG 55, or SL55AMG (it isn't, and it has less power, but you're stupid, so I forgive you that), but forget that the new AMG has almost 160 more bhp, and 200 ft lb torque more. Progress.

You've bought the wrong car, and that is really funny. The cooking version states it does 41 mpg. It doesn't, it wouldn't get near that as an average, it may get close if you drove it like clergy, but it will not. When it comes to sell it, the equivalent diesel will have lost 20% less. You'd have spent 20% more in fuel and you'd have the worst real world performance into the bargain.

Well done mate. Go you

They are the same speed as both are limited to 155mph :-)

Not accelerildo wise tho

Old sl55 was 4.6 for 0-60
New sl500 is guess what? 4.6
New Sl63 is 4.3

So 40,000 buys you .3 of a second. Hardly great bang for buck improvement is it.

Go look the speeds up yourself...

I'm done wasting my time with a window shopper

The (stock) 2014 Nissan GTR will hit 60 in 2.7s

So I win.

I'm nipping down the shops in mine now.

You ****tard, you stupid, stupid man.

What engine did the old SL55 AMG have? What engine does the new SL500 have?

Window shopper, you dickhead, just because you've wasted 50k and I've spent mine wisely. You're just a snide in the wrong car.

Might not sound much, but it is, and you keep saying 0.4 seconds this, that, but in performance, at this end of the scale, it's a massive difference. Have you checked in gear acceleration? Have you checked the yardstick 0-100? 1/4 Mile? 0 - 125mph? All industry recognised measures? None, all you mention are the I know **** all about cars 0 - 60 measure, used by bores since the dawn of time. The NEW AMG immoliates it. The OLD AMG still rinses it. These cars are just getting traction at 60 you dickhead.

But why are you still talking about the big models, when you bought the cooker?

You're honestly lacking in any knowledge, facts and figures; you don#t know how to properly form a farking argument, and you're a liar.

Go away you stupid man.

Anyway, you get back into your little 3.0 V6 cooking model. It's like buying a Boxster, everyone knows you couldn't afford the real thing

Why are you quoting the SL65? for your AMG figures? Its £165k starting price. The SL63 is 4.3 would you like the brochure? I still have a pdf copy somewhere if you need a bit of relief.

When you can afford to spend £80k on your daily driver come and see me... Until then you are a sad middle aged git surrounded by chickens and a GL class thats lost so much money you cant afford to trade it in despite all the talk about wanting it gone. Still at 9.7seconds 0-60 you will have plenty of time to look in the window as you crawl past.
