#333 of 441 Re: I certainly would not [scott1256] by merc1 Mar 15, 2006 (9:36 pm)
Replying to: scott1256 (Mar 15, 2006 10:46 am) My point is that this ad does nothing to win back people who might be a bit skeptical about MB after the rumors (some based on facts, I admit) that have been circulated over the past 5-7 years.   Well that would kinda be the same thing. They simply can't mention or let on about any recent quality problems, it would be marketing/image suicide.   I want to see MB get serious about taking the market back.   With all the new product introduced in 2005 and whats coming this year I think they are. So far just from reading various mesg boards the newer Benzes like the M/R/CLS and even the facelifted C-Class *seem* to be a lot less problematic than previous cars. It will be a slow painful process as far as the perception about MB quality to those who know about it and a even harder task to convince those that were burned before.   M

Replying to: merc1 (Feb 15, 2006 2:29 am) Merc--These first three photos really bring back memories..There were some guys that had welthy parents that got them the first car pictured..(the gull wing doors were not as popular at the time) I don`t remember but it may have been back in the fifties....You would have loved being alive back then, as we all could work on our cars as they were really understandable, and everyone was a `nut`..There was a guy from upstate named Rentrow(sp) very wealthy who had a couple oc sleek cars designed for him--called Rentrow(sp) He also had the Ferrari factory behind him and was quite an accomplished racer...Those were my glory days...Then women came into the picture in a big way, and I had to go earn a living..Thanks for the pictures Tony Replies to this message: merc1 (Mar 18, 2006 6:06 am)
#336 of 441 Where do they post sales figures? by akin Mar 17, 2006 (3:27 pm)
Where can I find out what the monthly sales figures are for the R Class? Is there a site that post that stuff? Replies to this message: merc1 (Mar 18, 2006 6:01 am)

Replying to: ecorra (Mar 17, 2006 11:22 am) Well I can't see why you would need a back up cam on the SL, but no it won't be on the 2007 SL nor will the S550's newer version of Distronic. The next SL of course will get these features no doubt, IMO. That might not be until 2010-11.   M

Replying to: anthonyp (Mar 17, 2006 2:20 pm) Well the SL is still a little different from other Benz models in that it has a longer production run. There have only been 3 SLs during my lifetime, and the oldest of those last 3 was on sale before I was born!   M
#340 of 441 Speaking of open cars..... by scott1256 Mar 22, 2006 (6:56 pm)
Newport Engineering in Placentia, California has built top line convertibles for many years. They are now offering open versions of the Maybach 62 and RR Phantom.   Talk about massive ragtops! It looks like there is a market for anything. First link is for the Maybach, second for the Phantom.   http://www.newportconvertible.com/Detail.tpl?rnd=111&cart=11082773894331708&sku=- - - - 107592474313380200   http://www.newportconvertible.com/Detail.tpl?rnd=6252&cart=11430825393311708&sku- - - - =1063920620712947
#341 of 441 Best March sales in history by scott1256 Apr 03, 2006 (9:47 am)
for MB: over 21,000 vehicles.   18% ahead of March, 2005.   I expect the fresh face on the E this fall and and having more S cars in dealer stock will help sales as well. Replies to this message: merc1 (Apr 03, 2006 6:37 pm) scott1256 (Apr 04, 2006 12:04 pm) merc1 (Apr 06, 2006 2:41 am)

Replying to: scott1256 (Apr 03, 2006 9:47 am) Dare I say anything about MB's start this year, don't want jinx it.   Yes the revised E (July), SL (April), new GL (April) and continued sales of the M and S-Classes should give a huge boost to sales numbers in coming months.   Not sure why the CLK is on fire, but it is and that is before the CLK550 and CLK63 models coming in July/August.   There there are the R/ML/GL 320 CDI models all coming in the Sept-Oct timeframe. The CLS550, CLS63 AMG, ML/R 450/550 should all be here in July/August.   I am surprised that 2nd year SLK is dropping somewhat, supply problem?   March 2006 Sales   M Replies to this message: scott1256 (Apr 04, 2006 12:04 pm) merc1 (Apr 06, 2006 2:41 am)
