Hey look, it's another silly dildo hitch, lol.

Did they make a Euro-specific 5.9 or was it originally sold in the U.S. and then shipped over? It looks kinda weird without tinted glass in the back.

More pics! Anything else different besides the phallic hitch and lack of tint?

I'm not sure about the interior, but you can see a side marker lamp in front of the driver's door (like on BMW's), and it's got red reflectors or lights built into the rear bumper. I don't think I've ever seen an American 'niner in that color paint, also.

I think the paint is that dark metallic gray, slate i think? At first it looked greenish, but im pretty sure its gray.


I am incredibly jealous, the dark gray is hands down the sexiest color for a 5.9, that thing is beautiful

The non-tinted windows are throwing me off a bit. Makes it looks almost cheap for some reason.

Oh, and that trailer hitch!:mad:

edit: I'm very jealous of the 5.9, though.

Also doesn't look like it has a sunroof? Major plus IMO as I need all of the headroom I can get. The only dealer in the U.S. that ordered any that way that I know of if Pollard Motors in Boulder.

The color is very dark grey, in a picture it is almost black.
But it is called "Deep Slate"

As for the side markers and bumper reflectors, that really is a European thing.
For many years a car equiped with a tow officially needed the side markers.

And it does have a sunroof.

I'll make some pic's when I get it cleaned up.

Can I have your glass headlamps? I trade you my plastic ones!


Actually nice ride. So what are your plans... lowering or raising it?

Thanks, it needs some maintenance. It has a wining rear axle and some electrical issue's in the driver side door. As for pimping, I think i'll just give it a BB for now. Still have the 5.2 to finish.

Amber front turn signals. It's been a while since I had mine, but aren't the tail lights slightly different too?
