Hot! Mercedes-Benz, What's Next?

Then that's a problem to be faced when China does start to see an improvement in the quality of life for its billion people in poverty. Until then the average Netherlander is responsible for 30% more CO2 than the average Chinese person, the average American is responsible for twice as much. It's blatant hypocrisy for many western nations to criticise Chinese emissions, whilst buying significant quantities of goods from China, and enjoying a better quality of life, all whist emitting more CO2 per capita.

Offshore the dirty work, call ourselves green, feel superior, and then buy the product.

I don't understand their love for China either personally.

It's easy to understand when you can sell the same car in the US for $100K and in China for $350K. 250K extra dollars (multiplied by how many units) can be somewhat persuasive.

 

[wallstbear]

Only because hundreds of millions don't have anything at all.
When China gets on the level of the EU and US they will pollute 20 times as much as those two combined.

You do see the "when you are poor you are not entitled to emit the same amount of CO2 as the rich European folks" logic can be a bit troubling right?

Troubling, sure. But really I've gotten used to it. It's been happening for decades (where the rich have their own 'laws').
Then again, this will likely be the century where the heads of billionaires will roll. Maybe quite literally. Musk is speeding that up.

The gt63 has a 2 year wait in the UK, so that takes it to 2025 already, and it's being facelifted shortly

Took them a while to realise the touch sensitive buttons aren't that popular! Glad to see them finally recognise this. Now all i want is a phone with a full keyboard again

I forgot that EQS Maybach SUV thing is coming on the 17th. I can't wait to see the US sales breakout.

The launch of the new GLC could destabilize the sales race. Only the 3K GLC was delivered in China last month. Normally, 15K sales are realized

Just yesterday I saw one of the previous generation, it must be one of the best achieved small "sedans", retaining and enhancing everything that makes a Mercedes, even much more than other larger and more expensive models, any CLA in person is always a special car

Man, this is not a German-speaking forum. Posting info in anything other than English without revealing what the info actually says is quite useless.

It seems from what we saw in Shanghai that the Chinese like Mercedes vans that way.

The inventor of the light commercial vehicle segment wants to offer the most desirable vans and services for its target groups – for families and leisure enthusiasts as well as for commercial customers. With its new midsize van models, Mercedes‑Benz is taking a significant step in implementing this strategic realignment.

toyota alphard

I didn't knew it, now I'll have nightmares

 

[wallstbear]

MB really hasn't given the van section any love since... maybe the R class? The current Vito/V class are not getting even a fraction of the kind of attention given to the GLC class.
