Love the C63, but of course I am partial. What a beast especially with the AMG package. You must have picked up one of the remaining 2011s...

Pics or GTFO......LOL jk jk

I think if I were to replace my current SUV (04 MDX) I would look into the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, it seems to be a nice bang for the buck IMO and looking at the past model it should have some nice aftermarket stuff available. Either that or some giant dually but I don't think i'm ready to go down that route yet LOL The euro hyper-suvs (X5M, CayenneTT) are very nice options but I'm waiting to see how the reliability plays out and the depreciation too.

Anyways congrats on the new ride!!

The previous generation didn't have it due to the center exhaust, but the newest one addressed the need of the customers need to tow and fixed it There's just a plastic cover over it now
