Post Carlsson should open their own showroom in America

In my opinion BRABUS is monopolizing the market of the wealthy individual who wants a bit more from his/her benz. BRABUS opened in a perfect location in S. california and used Fletcher jones to show off their cars. BRABUS is way to expensive, sure their quality is super, but they are not really state of the art anymore. Since the supercharger, AMG has surpassed the performance likes of BRABUS. AMG used to lag behind the BMW M series cars, but now M3's and M5's can't compete with the new AMG 55 line up. Now Carlsson steps up with a SC from Wankel, for around $16,000 you get 430 hp off the new SL,E and CLK 500. BRABUS on the other hand produces the same figure using an enlarged displacement, but costs double!! Sure KLEEMANN makes a great SC but the bodykits and wheels are not very attractive. Carlsson should open a showroom, or allow some company to handle all the real mods like engine, body kits and most important the interior appointments. Kinda like how CEC handles all of Lorinsers clients.

Nice idea! It would have to be done by Tire Rack. They are the exclusive importers of Carlsson products.
