i own a 320 CDI LWB for 2 yers now and can tell you first hand the vehicle is fantastic in all aspects. We wanted something different,unlike anything else on the road and the R-Class did it for us. All the “nay” sayers probably never had the chance to even test drive the car; – I’m sure they would change their minds and realize “why” it costs the 80k +

VERY nice, its only the same coin as a LandCruiser but much more comfortable and safer too.

FORST CLASS all the way for jnr. and the family!

Cheers,

As much as I admire and aspire to Mercedes ownership this thing leaves me cold.

I think the only thing the R Class needs is the Axe.

I’m afraid this one’s going to need slightly more than a facelift. How about some lipo-, excercise, a drop in $$, a re-think in strategy, and a bit more marketing support.

I think a Kluger is even more of an exciting proposition than this one.
