Staggering results!!!
There are some places in America where the average income is about $69,000 a year that I`ve been to and thay still seem to be littered with
new S550s. Thay certainly out number verything else in it`s class!! .. you would be amazed how popualr the S-Class is here in America.

Oh that is so true!
I personally know someone who bought a Jag.. the payments on that car are like 4-5 times as much as his 2-bedroom apartment.
Seems people do this all the time. It`s part of the image-factor..

you would be devistated if you came to Sweden. Cars like S-class,A8/7-series are not common on the streets here. We prefer smaller and economical cars here.

That's why we Americans got into this economic downturn, because the culture here is to spend more than you make.

Lol...Yea some of those same people are living out their Mercedes-Benz right now.

I have to find this article that came out some years ago about this man "successfully" living out a a Maybach. He had is living room/dinning room and kitchen. Very interesting article.


Another problem is a lot of people go for use S-classes as well. Most of them don't realized the cost of up keep on a Mercedes-Benz.
