    Mercedes R350 Spotted.

    I was pulling into a strip mall parking lot, because I saw a Ram SRT-10 in there, and I saw this car. The brand new Mercedes R350. This car isn't for sale yet, it will be in mid to late october, and had manufacturer license plates on it. The driver was an editor for a car magazine, (didn't have time to ask which one, he had to go), but he asked me how I liked the styling and things like that, and I said I liked it a lot. it's really aggressive looking. So here are some pictures, glad I had my camera!

    It's cool that you got a chance to snap some photos, but a minivan by any other name is still a minivan IMO...

    Ypu, that would be me.

    And it's really not a minivan, it's a crossover ute/wagon.

    Nope, that'll be the 'B' class - looks like Mercedes are on a mission to use the whole alphabet by the end of the decade....

    Now, this may well be a bigger version of the 'B' class, or is it a tall 'S' class,perhaps it's a new four door coupe minivan, or maxi van or is it a truck with a closed load area... how many 'niches' are there - I just want a car.......

    i ask that question for half of the stuff they come out with. niche blitzing is what caused the company to really fark their brand. look @ BMW. they stayed premium and are on top now.

    thinking of trading the CL for an M6 this time next year~
