Mercedes is going to make a 4 door convertible, based on the car above. Nice. World Class. Luxury. Status. But, not by old, main stream motor makers like Ford or GM. They don't have the confidence, the balls. So, they are stuck in the middle, not cheap or good enough as the Asians, not quality or daring enough like the Germans. The young and functional go to Asians, and the car lovers and wealthy go German. Well, thank God for car rental companies. Anyways, it will take Ford three or four more years to come out with a station wagon. This story is just so they can have something, anything fer God's sake at the Detroit auto show. Their home town show. Pathetic.

The Germans have got the rare knack for creating cool looking four-door cars.

It's all true. I, as a matter of fact, now drive a Passat, which is engineered properly, behaves as it should, and looks pretty cool doing it. Guess that makes me a car lover, because I'm not wealthy. But the thing is, you don't have to pay through the nose for some bitchen Flueven Hueven Farfegnugen.
