REPORT: The upcoming ML 500 is a forbidden fruit for Europe

By | Published Monday 5 December 2011

Shocking as it may sound, this surprising and totally unexpected move by Mercedes-Benz was reportedly recently confirmed by a company press officer, who stated that the Stuttgart-based carmaker will no longer offer the new ML 500 version of the W 166 generation on the European market. Slated to arrive in 2012, the V8-powered SUV boasting up to 408 BHP will appearantly be launched only in the USA, as Mercedes-Benz wants to apply a "clean & efficient" image to the M-Class for customers in Europe. In conclusion, the only alternative for a high-end ML remains the newly unveiled ML 63 AMG, which is certainly pricier than a hypothetical ML 500 would be. We pray the Germans will think better of their radical decision, if in the end, it comes out true.
