I just picked up a GTS and although I'm told it's a better driver's car than the SLS, it doesn't have the cache of it. I don't think prices will go up, and I expect this car to depreciate as much or more than most other Mercedes.

Will the production be somewhat limited and maybe in a few years they'll stop producing it and we might have the SLS effect, with the car slowly increasing in value?
There is really only one reason to buy one. It will put a big smile on your face every time you drive it. If you expect it to be iconic, or have a great resale value, forget it.

Guys I hate to say it but sometimes people actually do have a problem and come here to drop it on us or questions that we seem to answer over and over. I know the past has definitely tainted the future and a new member's post count or lack of it can definitely raise attention. The OP requested a delete so Ill just close it
