Hehe the front end is Mercedes Meets Porsche :fadein:
I think this will actually do quite well, especially in Europe. Remember reading an article recently talking about the popularity of people movers there. And seeing there isn't really any luxury brand-made van there, this is a smart move by Benz to get in early. Also, BMW have announced they're developing one also.. Bring on the AMG power house people mover :P

Damn how many models do they have now? It is just like BMW coming out with 50 models. How many times could the pie be sliced?

Personal I do not like the car. I think I would pick either Toyota Sienna or Honda Odyssey over this.

Yuck...this certainly isn't going to help boost Mercedes sales and save them from their low incomes over the past few months.
