Seriously?? The marketing Geniuses in MBHQ must be The Logical Next Step from their utility van business.

This reminds me of that new credit card ad where the contractors talking to the young family about all the unnecessary work and cost overruns he expects basically saying he's going to rob them blind. The point of the ad being wouldn't it be nice if people actually said what they meant.

All I know is if I saw contractor pulling up in one of those I'd say no thanks. OK rant over.

Good.

It Mercedes actually tool their time I bet they could of sold a lot.

Really, all they had to do was make a boxy truck with a front end similar looking to a G Wagon and it would of sold like hot cakes. Shoot or just a beefier G Wagon chassis with most of the luxury stuff removed.

The jeep truck thing, sells very well and but it's actually very capable off road vehicle.
