The proportions of this thing have been screwed up since they changed it from a front engine layout to a front mid-engine layout. The prow is way too long, it should be proportioned more like the SL.

I wonder what was more of a financial disappointment, the SLR or the Maybach.

Makes me think about FORD, last year this quarter about 600 million income, this year same quarter only 62 million. Hard to believe they are no longer #1 in the auto industry.

If these companies executives only played with their own money.

It was reported, due to their debt they are in, that Ford loses $1,200 for every car they sell. Great business model.
