hahaha.
Had me for a second. I couldn't figure out the angle, so I had to read the fine print.
The pre-calculated interest in advance amount $61,294.00 based on the 1.20% APY available through May 31, 2012 can only be used towards the purchase of one of four (4) specific Mercedes Benz vehicle models from Crown Eurocars Inc. with a MSRP of $59,585.00 and includes $3,488.34 sales tax, $687.70 delivery fee, $2.50 Florida Lemon Law fee, $6.50 Florida tire and battery fee, $500.00 registration/tag and $24.00 electronic filing fee with a total purchase price, net of $3,000.00 discount, of $61,294.04.

Someone over at FatWallet calculated the interest generated at another bank would pay for the Mercedes in ~5 years. Not a great rate of return on your million with this deal. Good hook to grab your eyeballs though.

I signed up, mostly to sample the new 4 banger turbos from Germany (BMW and the Benz C240 also).

Wow, that's a lot sooner.
At the rate BMW updates engines, we may be driving different cars.
