For me, Mitsubishi isn't that good, with the exception of the Evos and spiders.

I think Mac cars are:
Honda
Nissan
BMW
Porsche
Jeep
Saab
Ahem, and the Eclipse? It has the same 4g63 as an EVO and the GSX has the same AWD system and transmission as well! *glares*

A very nice car.

re iPod integration.
I've been seriously putting in a Mac Mini with a touch screen in the car.
How did u get the integration? Or did u just put in an iPod compatible headunit?
I cheated and ripped out the stereo system, with an alpine. I ripped out speakers, stereo and sub woofer. The new stereo system had an ipod jack. So I just had to buy a cable and plug it into the bottom of the ipod.

A C350 isnt an AMG, and a C is basically a civic that you paid three times for. A 5 series BMW would have been a far better choice. She made you buy it didnt she? lol.

2000 dhs for a wire that connects the ipod to the stereo ?

Recently bought an Infiniti G35. Before I bought it I was so excited because in the US in the 2008 model, they offered iPod integration, where there was a cable in the glove box to connect your ipod to. It would show all the track information on the display, let you control the volume and tracks thru the steering wheel controls, switch on and off the ipod when you would switch on and off the car, etc... The screw up is that in UAE they don't offer it on their 2008 models and nor is it an option where you can pay and get it done

Isn't the Eclipse one of the spiders?

And yes Dan.
The S2000 is a great car, hands down. (I also noted Honda in general).

As for the 2000 Dhs cable (though I haven't seen it on the Benz)
But these generally offer exceptional quality and amazing integration.
No doubt it's steep, but you're driving a Benz.
And once you buy the car, it has a complete monopoly on your market.

If you don't like it, you can:
- Forget the iPod
- Sell the Car
- Pay up

Spyder is a term that means convertible (Ferrari uses that same term, many other companies do as well.). Eclipse is the actual model.

Actually there is more to the term Spider than convertible.
