| TheDogsCar Veteran Date registered: May 2006 Location: NYC Vehicle(s): '05 G55K Firemist Red - Stolen Posts: 110  | MBUSA Memo on 2006's I got a call from MBUSA today and was told a memo just went out about the 2006 G-Class ... not much we didn't know already. The new news is that the official launch will be June 2006; the price has not changed from the 2005 pricing (G500 is $81,675; G55K is $105,275); the Designo colors have been discontinued; the G55K will contiunue to have the Brush Guard standard, but will be a Dealer add-on with the G500 (so technically the price went up on the 500, since you used to get it for free) ... they will be updating the MBUSA website "shortly"  | |

| TheDogsCar Veteran Date registered: May 2006 Location: NYC Vehicle(s): '05 G55K Firemist Red - Stolen Posts: 110 | Re: MBUSA Memo on 2006's The internal memo was just released yesterday by MBUSA Corporate (not a Dealerships). I have no idea how MBUSA sends their memos to the Dealers or when the Dealers tell their Salesman. That may take some time .... My advice is to contact MBUSA direct if you want the most up to the minute info: Mercedes Benz U.S.AOne Mercedes Drive; P.O. Box 350 Montvale, New Jersey 07645 Tel: 201-573-0600 P.S. If you contact them and get any additional info ... let the rest of us know  Edited by TheDogsCar 5/24/2006 9:23 AM | |

The dealer nearest to me had been after me on a G last Fall; and told me that the G was coming to an end and that they had their last shipment. The sales person did not take kindly to the email I sent them in early November of last year telling them that the G would be extended and the MBUSA would continue to be selling them. They were even less happy when I told them to not contact me again until they could sell me a G320CDI.  | |

| TheDogsCar Veteran Date registered: May 2006 Location: NYC Vehicle(s): '05 G55K Firemist Red - Stolen Posts: 110 | Re: MBUSA Memo on 2006's I called this morning to see if they had an update ... and was told by the very helpful support person that she had none, and in fact could not find the memo I mentioned in her computer. My guess is, the longer it takes MBUSA to 'officially' announce the MY'06 ... the more likely they won't, and will just announce the MY'07 sooner. P.S. spoke to MB-Manhattan last Friday and they told me they have not recieved any MY'06's yet, but do have a couple on order ... and the MY'07 Diesel will be a G320CDI 'special order' only ... but who knows  | |
