Behold! Mercedes Benz Pick up truck incoming

[shariq607]

A luxury pick up will be interesting. More info here http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-03-27/mercedes-benz-plans-first-pickup-truck-as-luxury-pushes-limits

[Don Mega]

Incoming to where ?

[CWMcMurray]

So how much in Thailand? Maybe interesting as pick up usually in the lowest tax brackets for autos in Thailand ...

Incoming to where ?

I clicked the link .

Mercedes will introduce a mid-size pickup by the end of the decade, focusing sales on Europe, Latin America, Australia and South Africa, the division of Stuttgart, Germany-based Daimler AG said Friday.

[IMHO]

Unlikely we'll see this in TH, because:

1) The brand damage would undo decades of brand positioning.

2) We don't have contractors making triple-dollar-digits per hour - the only people that could both afford and want it probably don't want to draw that much attention to their "mules".

[ezzra]

What's next? Som Tam cart by MB? or maybe a baby pram by MB ? there no end

to exploiting the consumer pockets, even at the cost of one's product pride and exclusivity....

[keemapoot]

Yup, Thailand won't like it because we don't have a culture of rich ranchers or urban cowboys here. It would destroy that carefully nurtured hi-so image that has taken generations to groom.

Anyway M.B. made pickups before

[snowgard]

I find the Ener-G-Force SUV more interesting.

Absolutely Classic. Put paid to the critics very quickly. Still if you can afford one, why not? MB has a fantastic reputation of making all sorts of very good vehicles, including trucks and vans, why not a pick-up?

It will be faster than most and probably built to another standard than the usual, which aren't bad but luxury is luxury.

Appears to not have a steering wheel in the pic, so could be left hand or right hand drive - but it is one cool looking vehicle -

[Rickster]

Yup, Thailand won't like it because we don't have a culture of rich ranchers or urban cowboys here. It would destroy that carefully nurtured hi-so image that has taken generations to groom.

Could think of a better word to replace 'ranchers' beginning with 'W'

[CapeThai]

Yes and only the Thailand Elite will be able to afford them...

They would like you to think that, but most MB here including all those bought for mia noi and toy boys are bought with proceeds from selling the families farm land from one or two generations ago or from unpaid income tax from businesses started with money from the sale of family farm land.

And it has no doors.

So beam me in Scotty.

[ggt]

Check the parking lot of the Monks...they seems to get the pricy rides before other folks...

[BSJ]

Considering MB have been making 4x4's, delivery vans and big wheel trucks for decades a pick-up is long overdue!

..as the OP link says, it's not being produced for Thailand,
