...My Dream Car My dream car that I built was the SL63 AMG Roadster with an exterior color mars red and black interior with silver trim. The tire hubcaps were all black. If I am going to dream, I might as well dream big! I added many different options to the base package including customized colors to the exterior/interior, drivers assistant package, AMG performance package, Mbrace package (includes many different features such as remote locks, roadside assistance, mobile apps, ect), as well as a vehicle cover and cargo tray area. The base package for this vehicle costs $147,300. After adding all the accessories and features the total came to $177,178. The difference between the standard and customized price would be $29,878. This also included the delivery fee of $925. I think there would be way too many combinations to count. The tool on the Mercedes Benz website is tailored to the individual to create their own unique vehicle that meets their own individual needs. Even when making the choice simpler, there are over 50 different variety of vehicles you could create. According to a web article wrote by Mahmud, A.

...LIST OF NONCONFORMING MOTOR VEHICLES THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR IMPORTATION (BY OR THROUGH A REGISTERED IMPORTER) as of October 1, 2011 Under 49 U.S.C. § 30112(a), a person may not permanently import into the United States a motor vehicle manufactured after the date that an applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) takes effect unless the vehicle complies with the standard and is so certified by its original manufacturer. This prohibition applies to both new and used motor vehicles, but does not apply to motor vehicles that are at least 25 years old (based on the date that the vehicle was manufactured). Under one of the exceptions to this prohibition, found in 49 U.S.C. § 30141, a motor vehicle that was not originally manufactured to comply with all applicable FMVSS can be lawfully imported into the United States, provided it is determined eligible for importation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and is imported by a registered importer, or by a person who has a contract with a registered importer to bring the vehicle into compliance with all applicable FMVSS following importation. Import eligibility decisions can be made either on the initiative of the Administrator of NHTSA or on the petition of a manufacturer or registered importer. One basis for determining a motor vehicle eligible for importation is that it 1) is substantially similar to a motor vehicle of the same model year that was manufactured for sale in the United States and certified...

...A grand tourer (Italian: gran turismo) (GT) is a performance or luxury automobile capable of high speed or spirited long-distance driving. The most common format is a two-door coupé with either a two-seat or a 2+2 arrangement. The term derives from the Italian phrase gran turismo, a tribute to the tradition of the grand tour, used to represent automobiles regarded as grand tourers, able to make long-distance, high-speed journeys in both comfort and style. The Grand Tourer, Grand Turismo, Grand Routiere, or GT terms are the most misused and abused terms in motoring.[1] According to author Sam Dawson, "the ideal is of a car with the ability to cross a continent at speed and in comfort yet provide driving thrills when demanded" and it should exhibit the following:[1] "Ideally, the GT car should have been devised by its progenitors as a Grand Tourer, with all associated considerations in mind." "It should be able to transport at least two in comfort with their luggage and have room to spare - probably in the form of a two plus two (2+2) seating arrangement." The engines "should be able to cope with cruising comfortably at the upper limits on all continental roads without drawbacks or loss of useable power." The design, both "inside and out, should be geared toward complete control by the driver." Its "chassis and suspension provide suitable handling and roadholding on all routes" during travels. Grand tourers emphasize comfort and handling over straight-out high performance...
