I think the Grosser is pretty "gross" looking lol. It sure isn't going to win any awards for it's beauty.

The fact that everything on the car is hydraulic is scary...no wonder it's so expensive to maintain.

I always wanted a 600 and still do - love them! Problem is, I don't want to spend the $5000 a year in required maintenance to keep it going. Pass for now.

Well you have to remember that 600's were made for rulers of country's, so $5k a year is nothing to them. Mercedes Enthusiast just did an article on the Thai Royal families collection, and they have a very nice 600. Those cars are taken care of by a full time staff with a direct like to Mercedes HQ if they need parts. Money is low on the list, the car must be ready for state functions at all times.
