Great pics as always. That Aston Martin Lagonda is still a fascinating car. I remember someone on Dynasty used to drive one. Never seen on in person. I was starting to think they didn't really exists.

Awesome day, Christian!! But SORRY - it's just a "normal" ML with AMG Sportpackage - can not find the AMG quad exhaust system.  But great photos, anyway. Just wanted to correct that. And the W210 55 AMG - is it really one??!! I thought it also has a visible exhaust?! | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to ree For This Useful Post: | | | The Photo Phanatic

The engine even sounded like a more aggressive V8 than the ML500 could ever be. Notice the little writing at the back which I believe is some sort of body kit tuner / service.  | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to cawimmer430 For This Useful Post: | | | Moderator

You can also order the E 63 AMG without the quad exhaust to make it more decent - maybe the guy wanted to get a monster with more understatement!! Looks still agressive.  | | | | | The Photo Phanatic

At first I thought this was some suped up ML when I saw the rear, but when I heard the engine sound it just "felt and sounded like a pure AMG". I might be wrong of course, but from what I heard and felt, it was an AMG.  | | | | | Devotee

Christian has done it again, lots of car sightings + babe, and you managed to avoid all those police cars, well done.
I want to ask, how basic are those taxi spec E-class, are they even more basic than the Classic version? How much do they cost compare to the normal spec E? | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to monster For This Useful Post: | | | Moderator

In my opinion they are comparable to every version of the E-Class (Classic, Elegance and Avantgarde)! - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
But I don't know what these Taxi packages will cost…  | | | | | The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to ree For This Useful Post: | | | The Photo Phanatic

Thanks!
Well before we venture in depth about the taxis, it has to be mentioned that MB offers three distinctive trim options for the C- and E-Classes: Classic - base trim Elegance - luxury trim Avantgarde - luxury / sport trim
All of these trims are available to both private consumers and commercial consumers. That means a taxi company could buy an E200 CDI Avantgarde for example.
Generally though the most common E-Class taxi is a Classic trim variant. They generally come standard with automatic transmission and the necessary taxi equipment (fare counter etc.). Think of it as a watered down Elegance trim variant without the chrome on the exterior mainly.
