Moser:Amazing, totally love this car.... perfect combination of class, sportiness, and comfort, can you send more information on your spec?

SciFrog:This is the equivalent of the Bentley but this one can fly under the radar for Europe... nice.
Bentley GTC was also an option. But it is at least 50.000 € more expensive. For me, the GTC is the best car in this segment for now.
The main problem in Germany is, that I can't drive the GTC to my customer. Even my McLaren I do not drive to my company. As you say, try to stay under the radar.

ALDO:You know in Stuttgart this car is almost invisible 😉
Delivery is in May, right after my holiday.
Will be interesting to know how many of them are in the nature, very rare to say the least.
it is a fantastic car, congratulations.
I would just be worried about about losing 50% on it just after the showroom door and they are not cheap.

Yeah, you are right. I did have the same concern. Mercedes helped a little bit with a huge discount - so now it is acceptable. Still not a bargain - but after the Bentley GTC the best luxury cabrio you can get for normal money.

nberry:What about the Aston Martin DB11? A four seater with 607 hp and looks much better than the MB.
In my view all back seats in a Cab are worthless unless your a small child and enjoy the wind in your face.
If ALDO wants to enjoy his car even when he visits customers, he cannot drive a Bentley or an Aston Martin. Germany's business world can be brutal, not even sure that in the US, you could drive to a customer in a Bentley.
The AMG Mercedes usually blend in and are acceptable over here, unless you live in the Cologne/Dusseldorf area, then an AMG Mercedes can be a handicap (I won't say now why but let's say that AMG Mercedes have a certain attraction to certain people in that area).

Do you really think that it is different in Cologne/Düsseldorf than in other German cities? Maybe you should spent a weekend in Berlin. Even here in Munich the owner (?) of a betting-office in my neighborhood drives a white C63 Coupe with black rims … Many AMG customers drive their AMG to been seen

The reputation of AMG Mercedes in my hometown is quite positive, same goes to Stuttgart area for example. Many business cars are Mercedes S63 sedans. Munich is more of a BMW 7 series city but many so called owners of betting-offices (good one) drive BMW M4 in Munich, don't ask how I know. What the AMG Mercedes is in the Ruhrgebiet, the M3/M4 models are in Munich.
In my hometown, it could be a problem driving a Panamera or Bentley... 911, AMG Mercedes, BMW M...not really an issue.

In Stockholm all AMG, BMW M-cars and some of the top line Audi’s are out of the question if you’re not a “newswede”. That’s a pity, really. Some of them are really nice cars and you get a lot of car for the money with them.
Will be interesting to see how the Bentley will be received. Not many of them arround. And my neighbors will hate my guts even more when they see the GT2 RS parked side by side with the Bentley while my son needs to park the gold ML SUV on the street.... Glad I sold the GT3 and the Panamera TS, or I would greate my own traffic jam in our quiet neighborhood.....

ALDO:Today was the delivery of my 63 AMG s planned. One hour before delivery I got a call, something with the rear camera isn’t working.
3 hours later - delivery postponed to next week. Mercedes mechanics couldn’t fix it! 4 of them!!!

Thank you! My wife is having her 50th this year and I could not resist a 50 percent depreciation for the regular S550 cab for her. I know it’s not the S63 you have but she prefers the less sporty appearance. I should have it by Saturday. Thanks again for your reply!
