A Great Hit in Canada

This will be a great hit in Canada.

Our national sales tax is called GST.

I can already see the jokes starting to be cracked -

We have a GST (Goods and Services Tax) also, But I don't think its going to be called this is it? Is'nt it B-Class for the little one and R-Class for the big one?

Canadians filled our media before our GST was introduced predicting doom and gloom. How wrong they were.

Yes it will be the R class. The GST stands for Grand Sport Tourer and what will happen to that anyone knows.

We will have the new A-class next fall and the R-class in '06. The B-class probably wont hit our shores.

Harris, are you sure the A Class will come to Canada this fall ?
Do you have any pre-owned rims for W203 for sale ?

Tks

Perhaps, but they're still Mercedes, eh?

I bet a lot of MB (and other luxury brands) sold in the US are base model and bone stock as well.
