While at the Indy Auto Show last January, I noticed a DaimlerChrysler offering
on the OTHER side of the hall (the Chrysler part was NOT with the Daimler part)
The Chrysler area did have the Hemi C concept car there. In the Daimler display
area was a VERY similar car, the performance specs were very similar, the car 
was a convertable, A Daimler Mercedes, BUT it was retailing for approx.
$80,000 US, That one was for sale, the cheaper Hemi C, Sorry folks we aren't
going
to be making it available.
