Cars Without Borders

Hello fellow Mercedes Enthusiast,

help a good cause, support Cars Without Borders. www.carswithoutborders.com
The site gives you a great insight on what is happening currently with the manufacturers and how they are trying to prohibit Canadians to shop in the US for cars.

Check it out!

First of all, nice icon! I've spent a little time at the Bitburger brewery and love the beer. I've got a Bitburger church key that is one of my treasures

Anyway, at least you folks in Canada can get all those nice options and features that we inferior Americans aren't allowed to get.

Thanks I like the beer too!
But even if you option them both the same on some of the Mercedes Models you get a price advantage of 30% or even up.... I'd rather buy in the US which I did with my GMC Denali, and saved about $12,000 after all was said and done... and the funniest part is, that the Denali is made in Canada!

I completely agree - except that in the case of GM vehicles there aren't so many differences where features from Canada are simply not available in the US. In the case of MB, it's very odd but they certainly treat us yanks as second class citizens. They seem to succeed here in spite of themselves.
