Green Mountain, North Carolina, United States
Mercedes Benz G55 AMG 2005 … Grand Edition The iconic G55 is a rugged military design, transformed into a luxury vehicle in a way only Mercedes Benz can do. To take it to an even higher level the hand-built AMG engine is Supercharged to the tune of 469 horsepower with an even more amazing 516 lbs-ft of stump pulling torque. These are supercar numbers in a four wheel drive SUV! It gets even better. This is number 248 of 500 specially built Grand Edition models with unique side badging and production plaque. Outstanding quality in a luxurious SUV, with supercar performance and one of only 500 specially built. This vehicle is truly hand-built by some of the most senior assembly line workers MB has trained according to The Star magazine. They went on to say this G55 AMG “is the quickest, fastest, loudest, most in-your-face and fun to drive SUV we have ever encountered”. (The Star Sept/October 2004). The original owner purchased this limited edition G55 in Beverly Hills, CA and never drove it more than about fifty miles from home. It was always garaged and has never seen snow. The second owner had it shipped to North Carolina and garaged it at all times but has never driven it in snow. There have been a couple of times when it was caught in rain but no snow or crud. The exterior condition is immaculate. The Alabaster White paint was rare for this year. The leather and wood trim in the interior is immaculate as well. The low miles and excellent care make this a wonderful opportunity for the right buyer. Issues? …… Not much really. The right rear window actuator is not working and there are two hair-like scratches on the right rear panel. The oil has been recently changed (Mobil 1 0w 40) and the Pirelli tires are great. A clean Carfax is available upon request. A very special SUV. Quality never goes out of style.

Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...
Fri, 15 Mar 2013If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 Sport
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Mercedes Makes A Mighty Little Sedan
We got overexcited when the W203 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan came out in 2001, calling it the "Baby Benz" when it really wasn't. We knew that, too, but our enthusiasm for a model more like the old 190 of the '80s was so strong that we were willing to stretch the first-gen C-Class to fit that mold. Today, the C-Class has done what all German premium cars do: grown in size. In this case, grown to satisfy the market intentions of the previous E-Class.
There was the tall A-Class sold from 1998 through 2010, but we never considered that a serious small Benz in the proper spirit, nor was it ever offered in the US. Regardless, we've been craving a smaller, premium, sexy sedan all the while.
Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run
Wed, 20 Nov 2013This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
