^ are those numbers including military-contracted vehicles then? I'm not interested in fleet sales.. To clarify : when I say "no one", it's a mockery of those who like to say "no one is buying the CTS" or "no one buys Cadillacs". I mean; if the term is what those commenters felt conveyed their thought, stands to reason when I use it above it means the same thing to them.

Gots lovely haunches, don't it? ~ '54 Plymouth Belmont

G-wagon is embarrassingly old & outdated, plus no one buys them- no good as a basis. What makes no sense is if the GL can be tarted up to $230K (??), and the Bentley is rumored to start around $215; they already overlap (tho one at the base and the other at the top end). Assuming the Bentley can tack another 100K to it, how much can MB really add to a $63K SUV and still sell any?? How many are going to willingly spend -say- $180K over a base GL?? Bentley at least (as ugly as it may be) is unique, it's not something obviously based on something that starts 14 price tiers below. This is starting to sound like Maybach 1.0 all over again; thinly veiled bling packaging that won't move.

Why is it sloppy work, the result of laziness instead of research, just makes me angry? Does that anger make me a bad person?^ That's truncated. The whole tag goes like this : "The Best, or Nothing…. or the commercial van division…. or Nissan!" ™

Cadillac 500 CI V8, turbocharged, 196 MPHKnow what else is rugged, simple and rough as a cob? This : Maybe Chevy should re-introduce it, built to full '69 specs (Camino, I can hear you panting from across the Delaware; calm down; it's not happening!) and build a luxury truck on it.- 18 replies

The G-wagon is much more 'ignoring a platform for 30 years' rather than 'knowing how to do BOF'. lol- 18 replies

Putting aside the very real issue that this is a segment MB has zero need to enter, sounds like they don't even have a firm grasp on the concept.- 18 replies
