Mercedes-Benz R-Class Update Photos and Details Leaked
It’s a model that in many ways is the bastard of the Mercedes-Benz model lineup, not because there’s anything wrong with it (in fact, the R-Class is actually quite nice inside), but rather due to Mercedes’ horrid marketing approach when attempting to promote the vehicle. It’s not a minivan, it’s a “sports tourer” may sound familiar. Or maybe you saw the R-Class when it went on tour with the Rolling Stones (probably not). Rather than calling it what is was and marketing it as a model suited perfectly for families, Mercedes instead aimed for the senior citizens and their lavish Social Security checks, and the rest, as they say, is a sales disaster.
