This is how it always is.

The Americans want our diesels, the Europeans want their car prices.

Some on MBWorld are saying that there is no V8 for the R-Class for 2008, in other words no R550? Is this true?

This is true. NO V8 for R. they will offer a bench style seat

VAT = Value Added tax. Its a indirect tax on applied on a sales price. In Belgium its 21%. If you buy in Europe and then ship it elsewhere then you get a VAT deduction (i.e. you get this money back).

What is VAT? Vehicle Acquisition Tax?

Wow, a C350 Sport the way I'd want it would be $44,950. Not bad, right in line a IS350 and the 335i.

Wow. The R500 must didn't sell well enough to warrant it being replaced by the R550? If this latest round of changes doesn't work the R is a lost cause for real, especially with a 268hp V6 being the top of the line engine. I take it the R63 is gone too then huh?

Actually the R is doing OK. The V8 doesn't appeal to the person who buys this car. The R has the has percentage of buyers who have never owned a Mercedes before.

Back to the C talk.

Yep. Mercedes has announced that the R63 AMG is not going to be produced anymore. I always wondered why they made this pointless car in the first place.
