Mercedes Ends SLR Production in 2009

I completly agree 3IceMan...Best of both worlds Mercedes & McLaren, great combination :) I'm a sports car nut, and of all the exotics, sports, muscle cars, etc...The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is my favorite, ask anyone that knows me :)

no its not lol

what problems are u talking about exactley?

I'm not speaking specifically of problems with the vehicles, I'm talking about Mercedes and McLaren teaming up to do passenger cars. Since the beginning the two have had non-stop confrontation over what they each want out of the production vehicles (and the consumer pays the price). Its like oil & water...But somebodies shaking it all up!

Electrical problems? With a name like m "7" you dare speak of electrical problems?.. this is a SLR, not a 745li.. The SLR barely has any electronics in it.. It is one of the most reliable Supercars ever built.. Believe me.. I know.. the only time they come in the shop is for tire replacement.. sad to see it go.. definatly a collectors item

LOL, thas every 7 series though really. Heres a joke "put a window down in an E38" ROFL!

Because the market it is in is not for car enthusiasts it is for show offs, the SLR is a great car, it and the Carrera GT beat the italian equivalents, but again this market is about showing off and the mercedes badge is simply not prestigious enough to get enough attention. This car has a clean and simple design that is not too flagrant but to the trained eye the genius behind the design is clearly noticed, as stated above it is a gentleman's car. Even the colours it is offered in are clean simple and pure and you can get out of the car in a business suit without looking stupid. Ferrari's and lambos are for young rich ppl that want to show off for hoes with their gay sunglasses and ferrari puma "racing" shoes and hair gelled back. Here in TO i have seen 4 SLRs and all are owned by executives at banks and such. You find me an executive in his 40s driving a murcielago to work every day.
