Tell that to the Mercedes Benz Board! Imagine their faces?

Hello mate! So much time!

How are you doing?

Considering I have some technically "illegal" things on the car (or lack thereof, i.e no front plate), he didn't even notice. :D

But did he made you a bill/fine? Or forgive you b/c of how awesome your Merc looks? ;)

Hehe! Keeping it warm for you! Funny thing: Last night at a Police checkpoint, the officer was crazy complimenting it! Felt pretty cool :D

Damm, that avatar :(

Why you have to be so cruel with me?

LOL, yes. Still let me know when is your birthday, as I can give you a shaver as a present :P :P

Be sure to care that E350, as I don't want to see scrachtches once I buy it next year :D

So you didn't denied nor confirm about your hairy butt, eh? :P

Thanks for the Article Human. Makes perfect sense. Although unfortunate. I keep telling people that the new Jeep Cherokee is "so amazing" as everyone puts it, due to it being a MERCEDES, and I was even referring to what I assumed was the W164 chassis! It sucks that the Jeep gets it first, as it "appears" like the Mercedes is using a Jeep chassis.

Topic: New 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee (Mercedes M-class platform)

Built upon the underpinnings of the Mercedes-Benz M-class, the unibody 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee wears cleaner sheetmetal that is still instantly recognizable for what it is. The traditional seven-slot grille has wider openings and is flanked by pinched headlamps, giving the GC a face resembling that of the Trailhawk concept. The transition from fender flare to side sheetmetal has been smoothed, resulting in a less cluttered profile, while the tapered side glass recalls the greenhouse on the Dodge Journey. Seventeen-inch wheels will be standard, with 18s and 20s optional.

The M-class architecture endows the Grand Cherokee with a claimed 146-percent increase in torsional stiffness over the outgoing model. The rear beam axle of the last generation disappears in favor of four-wheel independent air suspension that endows the Jeep with a 4.5-inch range of height adjustability, from a high of 11.1 inches of ground clearance for serious off-roading to a low of 6.6 inches in a parking mode intended to ease ingress and egress.

In fact one of the reason’s this new model was delayed almost a year through the bankruptcy and reorganization of Chrysler under new owner Fiat, is that many of the parts that were to be sourced from Mercedes Benz and some shared engineering became legal issues that had to be ironed out before the Grand Cherokee could hit the assembly line.

Edit: Mind you the article makes further mention of the GL obviously also a donor in the sharing.
