No dude. JK doesnt have the size for new S-class. Infact he put Good Year on it, that too was not in stock & got it through air frieght. But Michelin is the best choice for such big cars.

Some snaps contributed by a friend from Rajasree Motors. His name is Adil, working in service dept.

The new ML320 CDI with exterior sports package. The rear spare wheel gives more attention for the ML. I'm expecting it to be in Calicut soon, but yet to finalise the colour.

SL55 AMG, of which I posted the photos earlier. Look at the signature of the guy who build this monster 5.5Ltr V8. The 22 spoke 20" alloys look very sporty.

The only S500 in the state & the CLS of a famous Jweller group.

How much does the ML 320 cdi cost on road in Kerala?I remember a vehicle in a nice shade of brown being delivered at Sundaram Motors several months back when i was there.I was told it cost him 85 lakhs.Dont remember if he mentioned the OTR price or ex-showroom.Had options like sports package, Airmatic DC , Thermotronic if i remember right.Thought that price was a bit steep for the ML.

The new ML320 CDI with sports package will cost approx. Rs.65Lacs. The colour you mentioned is Peridot Brown. The guy from here who is interested in ML is confused whether to go for white or peridot brown, but he has not seen it in direct.

ML looks good in white.But white will be a common choice.I liked it in peridot brown with the rear spare wheel mount.Those 19 inchers and privacy glass add to the looks.

Hi Jay,

In Chirayath AD (Malayala Manorama, 19/06/2008) there is a 2006 Beetle on offer among other cars.

iraghava · 19th June 2008, 12:13

That Beetle looks to be on European plates.
