    Reminds me of the top end Honda Ridgelines. MSRP is around $44K, and people buy them. If the price point starts around $45K, I think some people will buy them because they want a luxury SUV, but need to carry something dirty twice a year, so they want the bed of a truck.

    Luxury gas guzzlers depreciate in value exaggerated.

    Looks butt-fu**in ugly.

    Even if I had the money for it I wouldn't buy that mid sized POS.

    It's either gonna be a total flop or a home run. Everyone ridiculed Porsche for the Cayenne and Panamera and those turned out just fine.

    It looks fine, but if Mercedes would just make a truck version of the G Wagen they'd have every yuppie contractor in this state wanting one.

    Starting at $40,000......but not sold in U.S.

    I guess this is built for the Arab Shah trekking across the sand dunes to visit grandma. Not bad for a mid-size truck, and drives like a truck, unlike that Honda Ridgeline

    I said that many moons ago and I have no idea why none of you would listen.

    It's being made by Daimler and be Renault. Does not give me a good idea about its quality and reliability.
