MB makes cars, trucks, buses, they even have cars smaller than the CLC, A and B classes. It's not sad when you think about that way, it's just they way they make their money. Of course, it wouldn't work here where we expect every MB to be fully loaded and have a V8.

I hear you. They mainly use C classes as Taxis over in germany. I used to have a C230 K coupe. I thought it was the best thing in the world until I got a reality check. A brand new Mercedes should be something that you work hard for to finally achieve it. When you have teenagers easily buying the coupe here in the U.S. it kinda demeans the good name. But then again it's still a C and not an SL. IMO you just can't beat the V8 rumble of a Mercedes!
