Slr 722

I read that you can only have one if you already own an SLR, yet one is already available. Why do they even announce that statement, Ferrari does the same thing, even when they know many people will just throw down whatever markup the dealer "creates." You'll just loose your *** over long-term ownership.

The interior is a 10. I like this version much better, it's more pronounced. Just give the SLR about an eight year depreciation, it'll make more sense then.

I have been informed that these guys (alain class) do not have a 722 in their showroom - or in their inventory -- take it from there....

They don't have the cars - not the clk dtm or the 599 either, if I remember correctly.

This was as of a week or two ago.

How, when, and where the car photos were taken wasn't asked....

Point is that the original poster's question about the production of the 722 - and Alain Class Motors having one -seems to have been based on the 'fact' that they have one, and that it is sitting in the showroom -- and they don't, and it isn't.

That's all.

I like the white ML63 that is pictured on their web site. I am seriously considering one of them for a DD.

Oh, back on topic, wish the 772 was available in the US.
