The main point of the conference was to establish the company’s shift in focus from sales volume to higher profit margins. The event was even dubbed “Economics of Desire”, with Mercedes expressing a strong desire to go even more upscale than they are now. One piece of evidence of this is in the form of the upcoming Mercedes-Maybach SL. That will be the first iteration of the ultra-luxury branding on a roadster in the brand’s history when it goes on sale next year.
