Mercedes M-Klasse
$ 25,000--55,000 first SUVs of this brand, the first Mercedes produced in the USA, and at the same time ... one of the most unsuccessful Mercedes. The latter is not the fruits of the fabrications of autopilot journalists, but the harsh verdict of mechanics and owners who had the imprudence to repair and buy ML immediately after its appearance on the gray market. The American assembly was sometimes below all criticism -...
Classics of the genre
Mercedes M-Klasse is a real veteran of the modern luxury sector. This status, however, does not prevent the car from remaining very relevant. A year ago, in 2002, the model went through the restyling procedure, transforming externally, and recently received a more powerful six-cylinder engine. The 3.2-liter unit was replaced by an improved volume of 3.7 liters. Frankly, external data already ...
For strong spirit
Mercedes -Benz M -class did not evoke warm feelings in us: simple design, mediocre off -road characteristics, unstable suspension ...

If you need a comfortable car, and not a comfortable tractor, Emka looks much more preferable. In the shadow of Helendvagen, Golendevagen's shadow ...

M-class on a new scale
A comfortable all -resistant from a Mercedes has become more powerful, faster, safer. And even more prestigious.

Looking around, guessed - there were videos on which the tape of a hefty conveyor once glided, taking sand from a career. The dull landscape of one of its recesses ...
