This is the 2nd S320 CDI in Calicut...spotted it at their coperate office's basement parking...another S320 CDI for the group will be on road by this month end...most probably it'll be silver in colour...

The new S is really huge & it look so too...the back end of both the S & the E in the foto is at the same line..but see the front end stands where...that much difference is there in the length...

Pals...heres the first S500 in Kerala...Its a fully loaded car excepct Panaromic roof & Distronic radar cruise control, but including the night vision, keyless go, etc...Its a different colour which is not available in the Indian made cars..Look at the 9-spoke 18" wheels...its the first of it kind in Kerala...most of the S500 customers uses the 5-spoke design...but I liked this one more...

My best friend Rajesh snapped it for me just before the keys are given away...

Its snapped from Rajasree Motors, dealer of Merc at Cochin, just before delivery..U can notice the lemon under the tyres...

The white S320 CDI in the pic above (adjusent to E) is KL-14 regd, but another S320 CDI (the foto i posted earlier along with the grey one & 6-series) is regd in KL-55 A 1...no problem for me to mention the no here, cos its my fren's brother's car...

Thats a Fiat Ardita. We have a 1934 4 door hard top in Pune. Startling resemblance, eh? Must be a very close model year.

Nice one Max. Is the owner from Chalakudy or somewhere around there?
