Although you & I agree, the market doesn't, which is why I assumed it was on the list.
By the way, have you seen E500E prices lately? Holy crap, $30k for a 20 year old car? I can buy a newer MB with more power for WAY less, or a newer car with even more power for even less from a *gasp* American maker that is nicer than a 20 y/o MB >_>
