The S class 400 goes hybrid with a 20 hp starter motor as a drive system

The last SLR MB has no roof and it is a tourer and only 75 being made. The AMG take over.

There is a new GLK on the way.

My understanding is that it is, the sales of the ML are well down,,this GLX is a luxury car very well appointed, its aimed at the X3 market, though I have the pic,,I cant put them up yet but will do so as soon as pos

Thanks television. Probably sell the RAV and the CLK and have one vehicle instead.

All Dutch to me.

IMO all they need to do is: -
a) fit a proper, decent, bench seat in the back (not the cheap infill they use now).
b) increase the legroom in the front (when the seat is fully raised) to equal an A class. At present as you raise the seat it swings forward and reduces legroom. Designed by a pillock.
c) increase the legroom in the second row of seats to equal an A class
d) accept a small reduction in boot space to get sensible legroom for a 5 seater estate.
e) Fit a diesel engine that is not over 225gms per km (preferably under 200) with a combined fuel economy of 40 plus mpg
f) Advertise the fact that it would then be the biggest and best estate car on the market (and with 4wd as an option). Stop assuming that potential buyers all know the original senseless layout has been replaced by a conventional estate layout (with a 7 seat option like the E class). Advertise the fact. Anyone seen an ad yet?

No its swedish:D:D:D

The Swedish magazine has virtually said what you have, so that keeps you in top form as always.

No launch date yet, from what I read it has been made more like the B class
