Update: 3/21/07 My dad has 1 year left on his lease on this car. He's not sure what he wants to get next as a daily driver. I posted a poll with the cars he's brainstormed. Very surprisingly, he has been saying he wants to get the M45 Infiniti. Out of the cars listed, that would be one of the last on my list. Last on his list so far is the BMW M6. He doesn't care for the styling. Still, he said he might consider it. Vote on what you think if you want to help sway him.

On a side note, I'm pretty sure the Maserati Grand Turismo isn't due to the US until 2009 so it's probably not technically an option since he needs a car for 08. But still, it's a nice looking car so I thought I'd put it on there for the hell of it.

This is my dad's daily driver. He's let me drive it a few times and needless to say, I returned home one of those times with a speeding ticket. Can you blame me though? I was like Ferris on his day off. How could you not resist when there's 493hp lurking under the hood?

Growing up my dad had always been a big Jaguar fan. He went through several Jaguars over the years but not till I was 17 did he finally decided to try mercedes. All I can say was MAN WERE WE ROOTING FOR THE WRONG TEAM. It's safe to say, Jaguar has NOTHING on Mercedes. This car is in everyway shape and form better than my dads last XJR. Even though the jag had 390hp, my 94 camaro still smoked it at Fontana raceway and it's 1/8 the price!

This car's interior is incredible, the power is mouth watering, the top can go on and off quickly in seconds w/ the push of a button, and there are so many features on this car my dad still doesn't know how to work some of them and he's sure some are still undiscovered.

Everything about this car is no joke. It has a 493hp Supercharged, hand assembled, V8. It's a hard top convertible and the top can go on and off in less than 20 seconds. It has a manumatic 6 speed and can shift automatically or manually, it's up to the driver.

The computer on this car is awesome. In fact, I think it is safe to say that this car is smarter than some people.
