Love the looks of this thing!  Looks much better than the current SL imo.  No manual though and all those stupid sensors and nannies would drive me nuts... :P :thumbdown:

Uggghhh....I love the AMG GT, its gorgeous. How do you ruin it, cut the top off and stick on a shitty, ill fitting chunk of canvas. Just no, hell no.
Lighten up Francis.....

That AMG wagon is my favourite car currently for sale.

And since this would be a summer only car in Canada, I'd probably go the roadster way.  I think it looks great with the top down.

Yeah, who cares what a vert looks like with the top up.  Both my roadsters combined probably saw less than 50km with the top up.

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.
