I'm sure most know that you cannot get an R any more in the US.

They continued to make it available to other markets though.

I had heard that with various other stuff moving to Alabama that it would be cancelled...

Well, nope.. this just popped up in my work e-mail...

The production is moving to AM General's plant, but the R is only sold in China...

Am I the only one that finds that hilarious???

The Germans build a vehicle in the US for exclusive export to China...

I wonder what the yearly R class sales number is for China. Less than 2000 I would assume.
