I'm not saying there aren't similarities. I'm saying it's not a ripoff.

Front and back, it looks so much better already. Hopefully it's at Frankfurt this fall.

Have you ever seen classic Mercedes racecars? Versions of the 300SL and W154 Silver Arrows?

I'm not fixated on the gullwing thing. It would've made for harder ingress/egress and there would have been design compromises. The gullwings flattened the roof of the SLS and made it harder to extend the greenhouse to the C-pillar, so it was really just one giant B-pillar.

That is a great photo.

I like the way you think.

I love that video and Aston Martin and the Vulcan (sight unseen), but it's a completely different conversation.

People say this could inspire the next Gullwing supercar from AMG.

It looks spectacular on the GT. It better be an option moving forward — at least on the production variant of this GT3 coming in 2016.

Why would I run from this? It's incredible. I want to run toward it.

I think when you're considering market demand, you're thinking about Western markets. It's a 20th century perspective. Daimler expects this to perform best in Asia — with China being the biggest market for it. As Mercedes clients in China like S-Classes, space, and luxury, I don't think it will be difficult to muster…

I disagree with your characterization. His criticism had nothing to do with Apple itself, and everything to do with the hyperbolic, rumor-mongering apparatus that has sprung up in the last week.

It's a stunner.

There are photos and videos of it circulating on the web — released by attendees.

They should. But they just moved to Atlanta from NJ. And I live in NY. So, no.

Why don't you guys have pictures of the 488 debut event for clients?

Thank you.

If they were smart, they'd beat Bentley and Rolls-Royce to market.

For what it's worth, Rolls Royce and Bentley are each promising significant off-roading capability. That doesn't mean anyone is going to use it to do anything other than drive to a picnic in the English countryside, but still.

Nice. I like it. ;-)
