In the Netherlands an SL500 = the equivalent of US $194,000. In the UK likely similar. You Americans practically get your cars for free compared to us Europeans - even when they're made over here.

Not to mention your gas prices. LOL

It doesa it all for you so you dont have to think anymore. we creating a generation of dullards that cant use common sense and initiative to figure out things. It all has to be spoonfed to them. Itd called the ipod generation.
