Mercedes introduced 2010 Mercedes S400. It produces 295 brake horsepower and get 33 mpg. After seeing S400, I thought it's nonsense and ridiculous. Because new S-Class was published on the web and people expect to see it on the ways later 2011 or Q1 of 2012. Why on earth Mercedes attempted this hybrid attack? The answer is simple: Credit Crunch! They need to sell more cars because of slumping profits. Mercedes's cercern about market is absolutely right.
They aimed a car like Lexus's LS 600h. But Lexus has gone far, when Mercedes stood still.
