Anyone here from Germany? I followed a link from the C63 threads and was looking at all the vehicles offered in Germany and came across the R site. They have two versions, one an extended wheel base and one a short wheel base. I was wondering which one the U.S. doesn't get. I can't read German so I can't figure out where the dimensions are at to figure out if the United States has the short or long wheel base version.

US doesn't get the short one.

All of Europe have both modells I think. The long one have a lenght of 5170 mm (approx)

Wonder if both the long and short models are built in Alabama? I was under the assumption that all R, ML, and GL's were.

Also, does the short version not have the third row seating?

Why not look at http://www.mercedes.co.uk

Big thanks, never even crossed my mind to hit up the U.K. site for info I could actually read ha ha. So I answered my own question by reading, says the short wheel base only has room for 5.
