Good luck, MB , with increasing the price without offering anything in return...
In addition to these "hidden taxes" (stuff made optional which was STD on my current Mercedes) which add 7% ... let's also not forget that the Dollar has strengthened by 8% vs the Euro in 2014, so it is quite obvious that Mercedes is being a short term opportunist. > you are around $62,000...Who are they targeting? Well, it *was* me. I've been a happy Mercedes customer for more than a decade. I waited for the GLA, but when I found that it had runflat tires, I took my wallet over to Porsche. For less than $60K, I got a Macan S. Sure, its a little bit bigger than I really wanted, but that's been the only downside to it, and a small price to pay to avoid the nightmare of runflat tires.
