Default It's just the European version of the Chrysler Pacifica...

...They're going to call it the "Baltica". HPH

Default Here are the MB-Spy links w/lotsa pics -- note the "all-rounder" reference

"the car of today must be an "all-rounder""

Note the not so impressive performance --- "5.5-litre V8 with 360 hp which shall accelerate the study from standstill to 100 km/h in seven seconds". Seems about the same as a stock 4.2 ar.

check this link last --&gt; http://mbspy.bacosys.be/w251.htm

This site is the site with all the tech details and pics and where all the Benz spy stuff surfaces first.<ul><li><a href="http://mbspy.bacosys.be/visiongst.htm">http://mbspy.bacosys.be/visiongst.htm</a</li></ul>

Default The link is not working but I assume that it is referring to the "Grand Sport Tourer"

Apparently it is going to be called the R-class and although it will be similiar in design to the Chrysler Pacifica, it will be built on a completely separate platform. Also, it is going to be built in Alabama with a 2005 release. There also might be an AMG version a little later.
