| Re: R-Class Facelift I hope they work on the interior too. Some more power for the V6 would be nice too. M

| Re: R-Class Facelift Even with the camo, the front looks much better!  I really hope they get the front right, because otherwiase this is a fine looking wagon.

 Seriously tho this looks like its getting the same verdict. 'not enough sales figures to justify financing an all new model development so a major facelift instead'.

 | Re: R-Class Facelift ^ the car is not even old enough for an all new model. And Siko is right....it already looks better than before...can't wait, I like the R-class.

| Re: R-Class Facelift Is it me, or do those headlights under the camo look like they're from the W204 C-Class?

| Re: R-Class Facelift well i can see one major improvement is that it has a TOW PACKAGE.  This hurt it in US sales. People who buy this large of a vehicle want to be able to tow the jet ski or pop up camper. US should also get the short wheelbase. And the diesel should come in the 2wd to maximize fuel mileage. I got 27.5 in a AWD diesel, which is great for such a large vehicle. Beef up the front, flatten out the hood, add tow package, change the side mirrors to larger SUV style, and you've got something grand. |
