New Benz R Class

[Big Daddy]

According to Speed TV.com:

"Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the production version of its first-ever “Grand Sports Tourer,” the R-Class, which will begin arriving at U.S. dealerships this fall, more than three years after the original GST concept car was displayed at the Detroit Motor Show."

They made a new station wagon. No matter how fancy you make it, it's still a station wagon. I guess some people will like it. I guess now the term "SUV" applies to anything with four wheel drive that isn't sedan or coupe-shaped.

No question, the wagon is back. Perhaps this has something to do with SUV safety?

As if Mercedes needed yet another class of vechiles.

Lol...matrix!

I'm really dissapointed...I don't know why but something about minivans just doesn't scream Mercedes or BMW to me. I don't think they should've built this vehicle unless they don't mind a decrease in their reputation. It's not that minivans are bad or anything, it's just that...well...they aren't appealing to look at!

Can't wait to see what Bangle has in store for BMW's minivan...haha.

Why do BMW and Merc have to continually debase their brands by making silly cars like this? I give up.
