Looking at the R Class online, I can see a resemblance to the Dodge Magnum. I don't see it in the B Class, it looks way too short. Tim 1982 300TD Moby On 6/27/05, Jeff Zedic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Are you sure you're not thinking of the R-Class? The B-Class is much > smaller.. > They li

Jeff, According to My Indy, who is a friend, the "B" Class will be in Canada this fall and supposedly in the US in the Spring. It's a knock off of the Chrysler Pacifica / Dodge Magnum. He went to school on them last weekend. How about 1.5 hours of labor to change the oil. Oyvay. Russ W. '83

I think that's what it is too. That E320 CDI is a little pricey at $70k for the average buyer here. No wonder we're buying VW TDI's in droves. Tim 1982 300TD Moby On 6/27/05, Jeff Zedic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > No, we only have the crappy gas stuff here except for the Smart car and > the E320

No, we only have the crappy gas stuff here except for the Smart car and the E320 CDI. We still have the US market exerting too much influence on our models, unfortunately. Jeff Zedic Toronto 87 300TD 83 300D

No, not in the US, apparently the euro/$ exchange rate is not such they can make money on them here, but if that changes, then they might sell them here. There are 2 diesel versions, not sure if they are being sold in the norte lands or not. --R Jeff Zedic wrote: You don't have the B Class
