Underwhelming for me. The “floor wood” looks like the bamboo matting rolled out under a Japanese dinner. The wheels and paint scheme are from the 80’s Lincoln. Dash has a sheen to the wood which will probably blind you in sunlight. Exhaust sounds good, but listen to how baffled it is. The sound stops nearly instantly. The off color stitching looks nice, but not as if it hasn't been done in every upscale car designer.

.......eh, 6/10 from me.

 

Yeah. 6/10 at best.

 

Is the X-Class still a rebadged Nissan Frontier?

 

A rebadged Nissan? Man thats a whole lot of hubris on Mercedes.

 

its about 40 percent nissan. Mercedes did the interior, suspension, engine changes, exterior styling...... basically started as a frontier base.
