Well that is what I mean a re-design. Not just the looks, but a ground-up re-think of the entire concept. M |

An average of 1,055 sales a month since January '07... definitely not the success Mercedes were hoping for. I'm with Luw', his explanation of why the R-class has fallen short on sales expectations is because MB misread the market and opted for a people-mover style vehicle dressed in a tuxedo. Didn't work well... and I'm wondering how successful BMW's PAS range will be. |

Mercedes wanted to move about 25K a year, not 13-15K. M |
