Why Not?

Hey guys I was just thinking

Why not get rid of the S430, drop the price on the S500 by about 4k and add a S320 to the American list, with the same features and stuff as teh S430 only difference it should start at about 58k or so? what do you think

58 is tooo cheap for a s-class.....and plus a 3.2 liter would be to underpowering..thats what i think

yeah, if they reduced the price to 58, then i would think those who would now be in the E class range will be rolling in S classes.. and it will lose it's exclusivity... my 2 cents....

THE MIDDLE CLASSES

Mercedes owners like yourselves destroy the Mercedes image and exclusivity of the marque. I for one am glad that the S-Class is triple the price of that in the United States in the Asia Pacific region. High prices are a necessity if the better things in life are to be reservd for those who have the ability to fully appreciate them.

yea the OTHER thread

so keep ur bs in the other thread

ur sittin there at ur computer sayin that people are cheap and all that other crap

to almost everybody, $80000 is a hell of a lot of money

and here u are, dissing people if they cant afford an $80000 car
wat the hell does that have to do with nething?
i cant afford an 80000 car, my parents cant afford an 80000 car...so duz that make u better than us? hell no...from what i can see in ur posts, ur just another rich snob

and all bmms8 sed was that the s is expensive...if u dont agree with that, either ur smoking bad **** or you (or your parents, id say it was ur parents) are extremely loaded out ur ***...if its the second one, at least be humble and modest about it
