This makes absolutely no sense unless you covet the machine...........which is clearly not the case.

I certainly don't care that an S-550 costs over $100K............clearly way overpriced based upon the product. M/B makes a killing by overcharging their customers for this vehicle because it has a shiny cover on it and the M/B star on the hood.

Do you get your panties in a wad about the S-550? It's the precisely the same situation.

If you really want to get torqued off.............how about the prices of some women's shoes? A fellow by the name of Jimmy Choo makes an absolute killing by selling shoes for $600. per pair...........shoes that he probably paid less than $50 to manufacture.

Plenty of companies capitalize on their name to sell overpriced products. I say...........more power to them..........it keeps our economy humming.
