I've seen plenty of Rolls Royce's. But not the cars.

They made engines for a lot of WWII aircraft.

RR still makes alot of engines, alot of Navy ships use Rolls Royce engines. (gas turbine engines)

Saw an AM V8 speeding through Tetbury when I was out on a drive last night.
Looked stunning.

The problem with the Maybach which makes it depreciate as bad as a Tata Safari is that it is also based on the S-class from 2 series ago. If it was based on the current design, it would be much more valuable.

No, perhaps its the fact that no-one wants a mobile branch of Dixons for Â£200k when they can have an S65 AMG LWB or Audi S8 LWB, both of which have as much power, better performance figures, less of an image problem and cost over Â£100k less.

Chrysler ME-412, it was a concept car they built a few years ago. Looks really cool, apparantly had 850hp, but it's unlikely to get built (can't have Chrysler making a faster supercar than Mercedes, after all).

We've already gathered the car hasn't, and probably will not, go into production...

The topic is about cars you've seen on the road.

Did you see the ME-412 on the road?

Are you serious. Over here they're about €20.000 for the basic C-klasse

vellu · Post by **vellu** » 12 Apr 2006, 21:23

Well, perhaps not the starting price for a C-series, but the average price definitely. Cars are heavily taxed in Finland...

The "cheapest" listed on a finnish car dealer site is:

Mercedes-Benz C-sarja C 160 Kompressor SportcoupÃ© 37900â‚¬

And that's the starting price, add extras and what ever equipment you need on top...
