Mercedes Bucks U.S. Recession Woes With $183,000 SLS AMG




Undaunted by a slowly recovering U.S. economy, Mercedes-Benz U.S.A. Inc. boldly debuts an all-new, street-legal gullwing racer, the SLS AMG, at the auto show here in New York. It’s unlikely a car buyer collecting unemployment benefits in this recession will plop down $183,000 for the model. But Mercedes obviously believes there’s a clientele for top-line vehicles such as its futuristic sports car.
