CEC is dropping Lorinser for Brabus!

Long time Lorinser importer is moving over to Brabus. I got a CEC 2006 Newsletter from the SEMA show:

"Brabus And CEC Unite To Lead the North American Mercedes-Benz Tuning Market"

Well Lorinser dropped CEC a few months back and went solo. Claus went after Brabus afterwards. Deal is still pending some small details between Bodo and Claus.

Good corporate strategy move... from unsellable Lorinser to unaffordable Brabus, serving the same five customers
