And saleproof. The R-Class is a flop. The dealers use them as courtesy vehicles since they can't sell the things. Too big, too ugly and too expensive. When's the last time you saw one on the road?

BTW, all this data you are quoting appears to be about two years old.
So if the dealer uses a C or E class its automatically a sales flop? My god where the hell did you get that from. Ever driven an R class? In its class nothing compete champ.

Dunn, believe what you will but Chrysler had NOTHING to do with the CLS or W204, or the R class. Its been a one way streak of MBZ platforms and parts going to Chrysler. Enjoy the C300 but I am done arguing with you. Believe your uneducated friends and be safe.
yeah Im done arguing to cause this can go on forever . And lets just leave it in the air cause i belive what i believe and u believe wut u believe and none of us can come up with solid proof. So lets just leave it as both of us our wrong due to lack of proof.

and the cls is super small inside. Thats one of the reasons i went with the w-204 because i felt like the backseats had more room then the cls. But that chopped down ceiling looks sick

And theres no need to name call and call my friends uneducated when youve never met them. In our whole argument did i ever insult u or call u names or belittle u into thinking u were a retard? nope i think not.

Because there is no C wagon and the E wagon is a four seater. The R is slightly larger and there is a surplus of them. And what in hell is in it's class, anyhow?

And I've driven a few MLs including the AMG model (for a week) and I have no desire to own one.

Why don't you dig out the comparative sales figures to similar vehicles and get back to me.

FWIW, I see R classes on the road here in Japan. Relatively few, however. A heck of a lot more Toyotas!

it's more like "people that are right" versus "you". Your hear-say is plain and simple FALSE. feel free to bring you Chrysler designed the CLS, W204, etc. theory up at any meets. just make sure you are prepared for getting laughed at.
