[s-cars] RE: S8 /Thank you Paul

[dave flagg]

In 2-3 years when I'm ready for a more mature car I'm aiming to add one to
> the mix.

I was just about ready to dive in here and you took car of it. We have sold
lots of A 8's and A 8 L's..... great cars no question. ..........BUT, after
driving the A 8's band then do a 500 mile road trip in the S 8, part of
which brings us through the Adirondack range, you just can't go back . We
are now on our third S8 and the first two both went to A 8 drivers. everyone
who has driven the S 8's has agrreed with you. Very nice upgrade indeed.

On the other hand, one of our customers came in driving Dad's brand new MB
500 S  4 Matic. and said whaddya think? after driving it we couldn't help
thinking that it was a real stretch to pay $25,000  (TWENTY FIVE GRAND)
MORE!!!!!!!! than an S 8.
