While reading my latest Top Gear magazine, I was shocked to see the latest deals that are available on new cars. Among them was the R class 320cdi, with a massive 10000 pounds off list price, bringing it down from 39000 to 29000. That makes it cheaper than the C Class 280, or X3 2.0d! And the R500L can be found with over 15000 pounds off list price! That brings it down to a ridiculous 35000 pounds, the same as a C350 or X3 3.0si! It makes a 5.5 litre Mercedes less money than a 3.0 BMW, what's going on?
What happened Merc? Why did you design such a useless car, that nobody wants? And then you have to cut 30% of the price just to shift a few...it's sad how far Merc has had to sink.
