Right. That car would not be what it is without Mercedes. Talk about fallen. What that car is, is basically an 8 year old GTR.

[@drewgreenhalgh9162]

Mat is just a hater because Mercedes doesn’t cater to him anymore. Mercedes isn’t in a decline either. When Lexus hit in the 90’s and sold so many vehicles at a much lower price of the average Mercedes, they had no choice but to try and compete by lowering prices which translated into lower quality obviously. They also took a hit on models that aren’t built in Germany anymore. Americans just don’t build cars like the Germans.

What's the deal with those back 'seats' is it a regulatory thing for tax reasons or something? Why not make it just a 2 person car with more easy storage space instead for grand touring, would definitely look better then this half assed attempt trying to make it look like a 4 seater.

[@rbarbetta1978]

Sure does help for insurance. Insurance premiums for a 4 seater vs a 2 seater make a big difference. My Evora S had back seats that were basically just used for storage. My Emira has a storage shelf, making it a true 2 seater. Insurance is almost triple.

[@scratastic1]
