Out where I live on the "West Side" (really North West) it's much rarer, though not at all uncommon to see an E.. there are no less than 4 in my neighborhood, which is a fluke I'm sure, since I own one
If I traded it in for an SL, I'm sure 4 would appear with in a few weeks!

at $180K vs the old price of $369K I would think we'll start seeing more "Bentleys" now.

Thanks for describing the Tunnel mode. I tried it this morning and to answer someone's earlier question... you only have to hold the recirc button for about 2 seconds and then you can release. The windows/roof will continue to close until complete without your finger on the button.
Yes, there are many MB cars in my 'hood. Most of the MB cars are AMG versions though. I think there are about 15 AMG cars in my neighborhood of 300 homes. And I have seen 4 Bentlys, two coupes and two new sedans.
The most impressive are Pagona Zonda (sp), and McClaren F1 (same owner). Unbelieveable cars. That is a lot of cash in the garage.
