Hot! Mercedes-Benz, What's Next?

My opinion is literally just; make Manufaktur open to literally every car in the range. Even the CLA and the GLB. Just charge an arm and a f#cking leg for it, if they want it. Maybe they'll sell nothing for the lower end cars, but the fact that they give you the option, says something about the Brand.

And who knows, maybe someone would want a GLB for practical reasons, but wants to spend an extra $15000 on kitting out with the highest end Nappa leather and wood trim, because f#ck it why not?

Exactly, because If you live in the city you don’t need a S Class, but may be you still want the interior with Nappa leather.

They are, to put it mildly, dumb asses.

For example. The AMG GT can now be had with various 'Manufactur' paint options. However this is limited to the 63 and 55 models. The 63 pro model comes with an abysmal choice of about 7 colours. The only 'grey' available is Selenite
Grey which has been on C200s in the tens of thousands since 2014.

Mercedes really knows how to make their premium buyers feel special...not.

Mercedes Benz is like a 1000hp FWD Car, they have the best bits and pieces but can’t put the power on the road, because the management thinks a 1000hp car must have FWD.

They really should let the engineers loose.
