Ok, I have a question about the autobahn. I have been to Germany and love the place, so your owning a Legend (RL) is very intriguing to me since most of Germany backs the BMWs and Mercedes. I rented a Volvo V70 turbo wagon and had foot to the floor for 1 hour (intermittantly and as much as I could 242 km/hr) on the autobahn and I was loving every minute of the driving over there. Respect for your drivers and the fact that at 150 MPH on the speedometer, I get passed by a 5 series bmw! Killer cool!

I wanted to know how you would rate your car as an autobahn bomber? Merc and BMW rule the road over there. Are we far behind in the world of high speed crusing? To me your car looks like a great version of a S class Merc. Sweet ride!

Let us know how we stack up to the competition over there. Pants beaten off or are we holding our own?
