Highly Doubt...

I highly doubt you will see any change anytime soon. Each year the same speculations and spy photos showing changes, then pretty much the same thing comes out with very minor cosmetic changes.

Hi Dudu,
Tell your sister to be wise and to avoid having stress and buy some other car. I have had so many problems with mine and it clearly indicates that they are full of problems. She should read the complaints on this site if she doesnt believe me and see how many unhappy purchasers of MB that are out there. Even my agent acknowledged to me that they are all giving problems of varying kinds. That would be fine if you had a caring customer relations company to deal with but believe me they dont give a damn. If you have met arrogance in the past it will not compare with cheek of MB.
I wish her the best of luck if she perseveers in buying one - but she is forewarned. Regards, Paddy
