S65 coming stateside!
Chi-Town Screamer: Mercedes brings S65 AMG stateside
Staring at another 11 months or so of selling the current, outgoing S-Class, Mercedes-Benz will draw on some of our favorite selling tools—major horsepower and maximum performance in the S65 AMG—to keep S-Class sales perking until the next-generation 2006 model arrives next January.
The S65 makes its North American debut at the Chicago auto show in February, and goes on sale in March starting at $170,000. The S65 is powered by a hand-assembled 6.0-liter, 604-hp, 738-lb-ft twin-turbo V12 good for 0-to-60-mph times of 4.2 seconds.

Gotta build hype for the last year 's build out. A year from now , you can pick one up for $85-90K, but then you are driving the " old car " , as the new one is supposed to be so much more luxurious than the outgoing one which always looked like a C class with more stitching on the leather .

I am so sick of the latest and greatest. All I really need is one of these with an F14 tomcat engine and I'll be set for life!

I've already seen 2 SL65's and 1 CL65 in my little redneck town, granted they were at the dealer, but dang they are sweet! I thought they were more limited production... The M-B dealer was real nice and let my friends and I sit in and examine them. Even though the SL is much sexier the CL is so much more classy and exclusive.
