Default The V8

I still get emails from Mercedes from the AMG I bought a few years ago. Received the articled titled below. Curious the thoughts of others if the value of our LC's will rise due to it? Merc was a big player in the V8 luxury vehicle arena.

Supply chain issues force Mercedes to make a surprise announcement. Almost all V8-powered models will be shelved for 2022.

Don't think this will affect Toyota or Lexus. To many hybrids in their lineup. MPG average is way down.

...some models such as the beloved G-Class only come with V8 power so there will be no G-Wagen at all in 2022.


The value of used 2021 G-Wagens just shot up and will hold for a long, long time.....

What a crazy time we are living in!!!
