R Class being discontinued?

That's the story I got from MB of Huntsville. They claim that they'll finish out the 2008 model year , then they're switching the R-Class line over to the GLK production. The GLK's are being built in Germany, for now, but will be built at the Alabama plant for the model year 2010 and up.

This is why you shouldn't get your information from that forum.
There's no plan to end the R-Class
The GLK is being built entirely in Bremen.
