There was an article that was published somewhere, I want to say about five years ago, that said that the E Class Wagon was purchased by customers who were amongst the wealthiest of all MB drivers and that many were in households with multiple MB vehicles. I’m wondering if those same, “wealthy” customers are buying the All Terrain?

My guess is they acquiesced to some form of luxury SUV/CUV. There isn't much else in the market.

They still do but no where near the discounts and package options like when I bought a 2007 S80 V8 via Over Seas Delivery. We got 12% off, now they only offer 5% off.

Mine was a 1981 245DL in newborn poop yellow. I loved that car. It was a tank!
