As car models get older and less expensive, the demographic shifts younger. I had a 2000 A6 2.7T, and the AudiWorld forum went from old-guy to young-kid very quickly. It's interesting to watch the transition. At some point, the cars got so cheap that people buying them did not have the budget to maintain and repair them.

C32 / C55 is a real niche product and I think it will stay in the hands of true MB enthusiasts for a long time.
