| MBUSA Releases 2007 Mercedes Model Information
MBUSA has announced today the full list of 2007 Mercedes model updates we can expect to see hitting U.S. shores in the coming months.
While I could restate all of next year's model changes myself, the list is rather extensive, so instead I think it's best if I let the press release take it from here.
So now, without further ado, the 2007 Mercedes model update list.
