I have one on the way and i know that it was made at the Bremen factory in Germany, from what I understand most new designed vehicles start off in the german factories and then can go off to South africa, US, taiwan etc.

There is no Mercedes car production in China.

Your VIN indicates country of origin and if first letter is W it's Germany.

Maybe for China distribution, but certainly NOT for North America distribution. US / Canadian buyers would never buy an MB made in China.

MB china

no, the Chinese do not really buy Chinese made luxury cars, for example the BMW F10 will be made but only the lower models.

the E coupe will only be imported
