Last time I saw anything about the SLR's sales they were like at 1000 units so far which to me is on track if they want to sell 3500 over 7 years, but everyone still says that it is a slower seller. Some dealers here have an SLR for months and months though before it sells and I guess at 450K a pop that is how it goes for sports car that doesn't wear a Ferrari or Porsche badge.

You know Marcus, I am seldom so uncertain about something as I have been about the Maybach. I criticize it ...despise it, and then I see a video like - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER ...and suddenly I'm in love with it.

Check out Chris's video too

And while we're at it, here's a video of the CL

I'd had seen the latter 2 videos, but never the promotional 57S video. Yes the car does make quite an impression when you see it in motion and hear it going around a track. I've long decided the only Maybach in my fantasy garage is the 57S, the others are not even close.

I've never been a fan of the Maybach. It's classy and good-looking but I think cars of this type are simply to excessive.

If I was really wealthy, an S-Class would be enough for me.

Nevertheless, the Maybach looks pretty sexy in white.

LOL ...I don't know a lot about astrology Chris ...but I read my horoscope from the newspaper each day for fun. You are a Leo, and that should mean that you are a person who loves bold and grand statements -- The Maybach should be perfect for you.

Haha

I don't really believe in Horoscopic predictions. In fact, I have not read one of those since I was maybe 7 or 8 years old.

Im leo to.. so ile have a MM 57s please

LOL ...Artist you fit the Leo profile very well

I don't really believe them either Chris ....I just read mine for fun.

It's not just the SLR Marcus, aparently.

I've recently chated with someone who works at a MB dealership, and he told me that the C55 AMG isn't flying of the selves either.

He said that this (re)positioning of the C55 to younger/sport-minded buyers doesn't seem to be working, at least in his area, since such people pick M3s or S4s/RS4s.

Now I know the C55 was a great improvement, and here I'm just the messanger.

I guess MB has a deficit in the sport(y)/driving dynamics area.

I only read my horoscope once, when I was really little. Since what it said about me wasn't true, I never read them again.
