GST a Reality???

This may be old news, but Mercedes plans to build the GST here in america at the plant in alabama that produces M-class SUVs.

Personally i think it has the potential to be really interesting if it stays true to the unique design of the prototypes. I hope it isnt plagued with similar problems as the M though the first 3 years

The GST is reality. I've read in the latest number of "Auto Motor & Sport"

It will be built, but not anytime soon. I presume the year designation for that car is 2004. Right now, the GST is nothing but a couple of sketches, models and photoshopped images.

I may just have to go to an autoshow to see the GST. It's hard to get a feeling for how large it is without it being next to something.

any guesses out there on target pricing??

my guess starts at 65K if the offer is the 55 amg motor
