GLK D/E Hybrid
Montvale + Stuttgart do not want/care to hear from us on this matter...
They've decided to bring in the Petrol version and we should shut our
mouths and open our Pocketbooks/Wallets and buy the Petrol
version without any further whining.The Implication is,IF enough Petrol
versions are sold "They" MIGHT consider shipping the Hybrid to N.A.
(I don't know how much of this has to do with production capacities of
the 2.2 Bluetec Hybrid drivetrain...Remember, North America is always
LAST in priorities."THEY" know they can sell as many as they can produce
to the EU and Asia,Africa,Australia.AND the pricing structure used outside
the US guarantees MB MUCH larger profits per unit sold.)
