They have actually done that for ages. I found this photo of a Mercedes driving around with trash
An insult to trash. Trash can be recycled or burned for energy. This trash can only be beaten to death.
That trash literally was burned, just not for energy.
That’s not unique to Germany. Even here in the states there are a ton of non-glamorous Mercedes utility vans
Loud, shitty clutch, no suspension
For a while the were dodge sprinters until the split. In Italy our tour bus was a Mercedes. Lots of taxis in Europe are Mercedes.
I used to work at a Mercedes dealer and we sold Unimog parts.
Lots of trash driving around Mercedes here in the US. Just happens to be trash with a lot of money
A company I drove for had sprinters that had over 1 million kilometres on them.
