Vision GST

<_<
Nice looking car. IS the GST supposed to replace the M or will be in addition to the M?
I guess this is the "crossover" for Merc.

Shares "guts" with the Pacifica. If it doesn't keep the GST name, it will be a new series called "R-Class". It is a crossover, not a truck, so it won't be replacing the M-Class.

when I squint I see a minivan-- **un-squints** oh wait- it still looks like one. :huh:

I do dig the taillights though.

**cheers for overpriced Chrysler**-- er-- nevermind

Is this Mercedes competition with the Focus?

 

[Rex Raider]

No, this is a significantly larger vehicle, with 3 rows of seating, for 7 passengers. It's Pacifica sized.

Actually, this article comes right out and says it:

The Vision is part station wagon and part minivan and was first unveiled as a rough concept in Detroit two years ago.

(emphasis added)

Hmm. A luxury minivan. Maybe Mercedes-Benz is striving to become another Buick.
