Do you remember The CIEN???

haha! good point! guess mercedes won't humble itself enough to admit there's something wrong. they'll just hope mr. & mrs. mercedes driver will be happy enough watching a mercedes supercar zoom by the tow truck hooking up their C-class sedan.Originally posted by tgagneguam@Feb 23 2004, 04:29 PM
...to name a few of Mercedes' problems. The solution: build another low-volume, super-expensive exotic car. I'm a bit mystified; they seem to have more than their fair share of halo cars. Hey, since it's Mercedes, I say go for it!
sounds like ford to me... :lol:Originally posted by tgagneguam@Feb 23 2004, 04:29 PM
Hmm, the C class is average, the ML exudes shoddy build quality (yes, I know it's being replaced soon), VW is starting to field some credible luxury cars and SUV's, and BMW surpassed Mercedes in Asian sales (and will do so on a global scale come 2005/2006), to name a few of Mercedes' problems.

Er... I think his point was that Mercedes already HAS a supercar. They're a company that has traditionally had outstanding overall quality, but it's now faltering.Originally posted by awalbert88+Feb 24 2004, 05:23 PM--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (awalbert88 @ Feb 24 2004, 05:23 PM)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Originally posted by [email protected] 24 2004, 10:34 AM
