Replying to: 2001gs430 (Apr 21, 2008 5:28 am) Europeans and foreigners espeically taxi drivers know the longetivity of cars far better than us North American folks who tend to dispose of our things far too fast. Taxi drivers are forced by economics to pick German cars that will still exist after hundreds of thousands of miles of driving. Simple economics prevails in their decision. Has anybody here noticed how many old VWs there are out there on our roads?Where ever I look I see old BMWs and Benzes here in Canada and overseas. There's a very good reason for that and it is because durability is one attribute that German auto makers excel in. Who on earth would want to keep an unreliable VW for over 10 years? I myself would like to know why since longetivity and unreliability should be highly correlated but apparently that is not the case.

Replying to: 2001gs430 (Apr 21, 2008 6:09 am) Many people buy 3-series with stick and cloth seats in Europe. MB is certainly more luxurious but the C- comes in a variety of more humble versions. It is only here that we are so thoroughly being sold the image of these brands.

I've owned mercedes for the last 12 years, s and sl's. I'am considering replacing my SL with the XLR. As someone said, mercedes is dumbing down their line with to many models, most of them look alike from a short distance. I'am not happy when I pay 80+K for and S, and some kid has a C model that looks very much like the S for anly 30+K. There should be more seperation between models, no? OK, so anyone have any thoughts onthe XLR.Looks wise, its drop dead beautifull. Ron
