CWMcMurray Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 So how much in Thailand? Maybe interesting as pick up usually in the lowest tax brackets for autos in Thailand ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtramsbottom Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 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 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 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". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keemapoot Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggusoil Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Anyway M.B. made pickups before 6a00d83451b3c669e201b7c76cb012970b-800wi.jpg 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would destroy that carefully nurtured hi-so image that has taken generations to groom. 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.
