It can be as ugly as it likes. I bet most £80,000 Mercs don't come with that kind of spec...

As much as I would too, I think running it would bankrupt me very quickly!

Absolutely brilliant car for the money. So cheap for a proper s-class/ 7 series rival.

I am running a simlier sort off car.
Mine been a Lexus LS400 which is a great car electric everything thing, yes running costs are a bit on the steep side but it's very luxury inside.
The only downside is the size off the thing, parking in a supermarket bay is a arse, you have the rear bumper touching the white line at the rear and your still overhanging by 2 feet, another one is when your pulling out off the side road and it's tight with other cars coming the other way, you always end up going over the kurb

All big cars are dirt cheap at the mo compared to mid range dervs because of the running costs.

Even the 'bottom end' phaetons are a steal. That and the C6.
