I'll bet you don't see many, if any, R231s at the show. I've been to a couple All German shows and I'm usually the only one with an R231. I think most are driven by old farts that don't go to Car Shows. I have to admit I don't go as often as I did 10-15 years ago.

Don't have any idea - I'm actually a little surprised a the various MBs I see around here, but I've never seen another S Class. C's, maybe an E, some convertibles.
Of course, I don't go out and sit where the traffic flows - it's just the occasional view when I'm running errands. We have a very vew BMWs, an occasional Audi, a Beetle occasionally.
We're only a town of >8,000, 65 miles from a larger community with no area luxury car dealers, few truly wealthy people, especially who'd willing buy luxury cars,
