VLE looks amazing to me. I really like it

The original brand and savior of those who have lost homes in other brands is a good dedicated thread to have.

I quite like the brand and am hoping the new direction coincides with them continuing to offer the full spectrum of cars. Mainly not backing out/faltering like other brands like Lexus or my favored of the big 3. As it sits right now if would buy something new under $200k it would be a Mercedes as they make the closest to what I like most

 

i had to make sure it wasn't april 1, that VLE actually looks "amazing" to you?? the front literally looks like the droid that fixed up luke haha




besides, mercedes already did a cool minivan once... this definitely won't be replacing the R63 in my book!

 

More loving then interior.

 

The R-Class was actually more of a traditional 3-row station wagon than what would be considered a minivan. There were no sliding side-doors, and one could not move around as freely inside as with a minivan.

 

Im sorry but if you thought the R class was good looking, we can't take much stock in what you say

 

oh i definitely don’t think it’s good looking lol but the R63 in particular is super badass

 

you’re right but since mercedes already made an E class wagon to me the R class was “the minivan”... they make the metris too but that’s hardly a mercedes

 

I seriously considered the R class when the kids were little, but in the end settled on the Odyssey.

 

The R AMG ones were supposed to be a nightmare to work on.

But really cool idea. That's what car makers don't do anymore, not really. Why make some absurdly powered R Class? Because they can.

 

anything from that era with the 6.2 was badass lol

 

that's what i've always loved about mercedes vs other makers, there's clearly some good senses of humor at the c-suite level! like literally who the hell asked for a 6 wheeled g wagen but they made one anyway!



even my E55 feels like some secret project that a few bored engineers developed as a joke, but someone saw the plans and mistakenly approved them for production lol

 

It looks like a rebadged Dodge minivan with the Benz grill. If this thing sells, not likely since its an EV, maybe Lexus can bring over the LM/Alphard. One can only hope.

 

Its EV and ICE, the MB Van.

 

I'm not seeing any mention of an ICE powertrain.
