    Fair enough, but I think that's crazy doing 100k on finance when barely making that per annum (that's just one example obviously), you are asking for trouble, I would only ever do a car that expensive on finance if i was making at least 1.5 or twice the cost of the car per year.
    Then again, I guess that's how people get into so much debt going and buying a house way above what they can afford without thinking about it first, there are alot of suburb around melbourne and other capital cities where people buy houses/cars purely for the image/trend of that area when they can barely afford to live I think

    Yep, all people see is a repayment figure, think "I can pay that," and done deal.

    The other thought is usually " How cool will I look/be with this <insert good being purchased here>"

    I don't understand some people, wouldn't you want to pay it off as quick as possible? I get wanting things now, hence getting a loan, I've had loans before and I try to pay off twice or more of the minimum each due date lol

    The front looks nice, but I dunno, something about the lines front to rear doesn't do it for me with that one, the side on shot looks bizarre, too curvy? lol

    Anyway, in amongst all the broo-ha, i's nice to see Mercedes moving from "bland" to interesting in terms of lines and performance within reasonable price ranges.

    One thing we have found, all our "run around" cars in Kyrghyzstan, where I am involved with some projects, are old Merc sedans in the 180-320 range (1986-1990). They might be battered, as is every car there, but their suspensions handle the appalling pot-holed roads better than any other car there.

    One thing you can say from Mercedes, it most likely over-engineered

    I could do this - less girly!

    About the gearboxes, what of it? Who knows that issues these will have. You cant argue that the R35 isnt a better all round car than the A45.

    Once again, Mercedes is renowned to over-engineer everything
    2nd, this car is better than the GTR for you, as you can put your twins in it!

    Or at least, @Fats would drive it!

    Costs more to buy, much more to maintain, more to insure (especially in a few years when the typical fully sick hectic bro cuz crowd inevitably gets into them) and has less practical storage and seating space. Will use more fuel too.

    Depends on what you call an all-round car see, the GT-R only wins at being faster.

    GTR is fast! Isn't that the reason anyone would buy it. N bcoz its a Nissan I don't think parts would start falling apart.

    If you are going to get wet might as well go for a swim. It's a lot of dollars for a hatch.

    It all depends on what a person wants out of a car, for example If i could afford both cars i would rather buy the merc. Lol it doesn't matter if its a hatch or not its an AMG thats why its 'a lot of cash'.......... And you giving 25k extra for a second hand car lol..

    'hey, nice shopping trolley... how much did that cost?!'
    '100k'
    'oh......'
    'but its fast AND its a mercedes!'

    yeah...
    Lol that's the most stupidest thing I've eve herd anyone say!!! I 'ed HARD @ if your spending 100k on a car I dont think budget is a primary concern.
    I know heaps of people including my mum and old man, with cars over the 100k and I asked dad if he could buy the model above that one an he just looked at me and laughed which was I think 30k more there was no way he could afford that model.
    hOw could you say budget is not a primary concrn?
    To some people that are VERY VERY well. Off ofcorse budget is not a concern but to most peopl who are'nt millionaires then YES budget is is concern . 25k is my brothers 1st year apprentice wage, 25k some people can't even afford a car worth 25k.
    Sorry for the rant but thats just a stupid thing to say.

    Not to sound rude @edmps but I don't think your parents or friends should've purchased $100k plus vehicles just to later say down the track they can't afford to spend a little more for a supercar.

    From my experience those who have gone down the route of high priced cars have little to no qualms with a little spending.

    Umm, we are not talking about your brothers 25k wage as if you are going to even look at anything near either of these cars on a 25k wage ... we are talking 100k, thats substantially more wouldnt you agree?
    If you are not 'well off' as if you would even consider spending 100k on a car when you could be buying, i dont know... a house, or beer or maybe food for your 30 kids.
    You are concentrating on week to week spendings would not consider spending that amount of dosh in one go on a swanky hatchback.

    If we are talking about the difference between a 25k and a 50k car id agree, thats the difference between an entry level car and a mid range model based on the demographic purchasing said vehicle.
    The demographic buying a 100k car is drastically different to average joe blow, you would be earning in the realms for 100k+ a year.. so yes, budget would not be a PRIMARY concern, this means that it could be in the back of ones mind but I wouldnt imagine a person falling over themselves and running from a dealership at the difference of 125k compared to 100k.

    Way to reply with an even stupidererererer comment.

    Woah, watch out for that brain snap..! Say what?

    Man you obviously know nothing about GTR's. I have 2 child seats in mine, ISO Fix points all over the back. Too easy getting kids in and out, and loads of space for 2 prams in the boot..
    If I had 100k I'd still get the GTR hands down over the AMG, especially since the GTR servicing is way cheaper than an AMG would ever be

    (No offence taken)

    Sarcasm is a wonderful thing as is the tongue in my cheek
