This is correct. I looked into importing an E430 into Canada. No dice. The manufacturers themselves dictate the conditions of import, not the other way around. So you are correct - Mercedes makes the call, not the Federal government.
If you download the list of allowed vehicles, it's good for a laugh. See link below. Almost all manufacturers have most models listed as 'permissible', with only a few exceptions. When you get to Mercedes-Benz, no models are listed, it just says 'see notes'.  See page 12 of 41 below.
