The SLS Electric Drive might be a good indicator here...very low double digits over an admittedly short production span.

Saw one of the current generation in Neckarsulm a few weeks ago.

Mmh. I only noticed one or two repeats. Still a lot of cars on offer though!

Well, there are at least 19 on sale in Europe on mobile.de currently. So my guess is 300.

Is that news? You can go to Porsche, Audi, Mercedes and BMW as well and ask them for modifications. You want the CLA dashboard in your A-Class? That's 1800€ please!

So what are your experiences in the auto industry? Aside from journalism obviously.

If you don't have the iDrive I do agree with that statement.

I have been thinking that for years now. Unfortunatly for VW themself their ego won't allow that.

I find the new Passat to be quite hideous in real life. The nose and hood line is just too high. Almost like it is falling over.

When you get there, you don't have to bother with the arduous task of walking (hey, your watch is already wound). Instead, two Segway-like pods are stored in the back seat for that final leg, and if you want your new best friend to follow you during your romantic ride along what used to be a beach, the Budii will…

The batteries needed to power a semi with an acceptable range would be huge and thus weigh a lot! Since tonnage is key for every costumer of those trucks this seems out of the question.

Fun fact: The W140 was so wide that it wouldn't fit the train you have to take to get to the German island of Sylt. Since it is something like the Hamptons of Germany a lot of S-Class owners saw that as a problem. Electrically folding mirrors were soon made standard thus solving that problem.

Well this here would make a fast alternative!

The local Porsche Zentrum has one for offer. Looks stunning and is priced to sell!

And that's not even half of it. It sports some twistys as well! You can sort of make them out on the Google image. Plus two huge squares of asphalt to do anything else you can imagine.

Without a doubt. Too bad many on here would yell "hairdresser" if they would actually build it.

And the VW Volksporsche and its brothers must have been really close to a green light in 2011. Two covers!

A full carbon E Class that was proclaimed by Auto Bild in October 2011. Simply hilarious.

That's a Vito. Or possibly a V-Class.

This is such a well researched blog. Please don't hand out too much information to us for free! So how much exactly is the import tax etc.? Or do I have to find out myself now?
