If you were planning to buy yourself a Mercedes-Benz Maybach ultra-luxury sedan, the bad news is that most of the first year's allocation for Canada is spoken for. The good news is that you'll have an extra year to save up for it, which you'll probably need since the base model starts at Euro 310,000 and the upscale version is Euro 360,000. In Canadian terms, both will be north of $400,000 when they start to arrive here in the fall of 2003, about a year after their debut in Europe.
