Mercedes Ute


I see on this mornings auto news, that Mercedes may be bringing their Ute to the US....Price here is projected to be around 255,000 bucks...That will make a big dent in the Tacoma market, I am sure...

The truck I saw on the news that Chuckie is talking about, is a whole different animal than the one in the link Motoged provided! About the only thing they share is the nameplate.

For an animal metaphor, It would be like comparing a German short hair to a Rottweiler! (I thought I should keep it German)




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

There are a few Mercedes SUV's to talk about, if you know your stuff and not just let hot air come out.....

This is your run-of-the-mill workhorse G500



This is the new beast with portal axles and that very high price tag. Not easy to compare with a Toy ota



Here the boys chatting about it.....
