Off-topic, but Mercedes E class is not "entry level", it's mid of range for Mercedes.
- Scoundreller 8y agoI just checked my reservation and it was a C-class. I’m not that familiar with the models, but I know that Mercedes and BMW have lower-level models in N. America because they don’t want to “dilute their brand”. So entry/mid class definitions will differ between Germany and Canada.
- ptaipale 8y agoI thought it's the other way round - e.g. Mercedes A class and BMW 1 series are not even for sale in the US?
- Scoundreller 8y agoYes, that’s what I meant, and it’s too late to edit :( The US does have the 1 series (finally), but just the coupe, and it’s still marketed as something sporty. I liked the 118d hatch, but no dice in N. America (except Mexico).
- ptaipale 8y agoAh right. As probably most people have heard, we in Europe think that Americans are a bit silly to want such large vehicles. Driving an A class or 118 would be both more fun and use much less fuel than an SUV that you really only use on highways and streets.
