I was told by a dealer that MB no longer offers the European delivery option. Is this true or they don't want to do it because they can't charge the exorbitant AMD?

Yep, ED is no more as you can see at the link posted above, but also the G Class was never part of ED. It's not actually built by Mercedes in the first place. Only models that were built at Mercedes factories in Germany were available for ED.

 

I believe G-wagens are built by Magna International?

 

Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria.

 

I see but their parent is Magna International right?

 

Yes, its a subsidiary formed when Magna International bought a majority shareholding in Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG.

 

I see. Interesting...

 

Got curious and looked it up actually, turns out 4MATIC was developed by them in Austria.
