2011 BMW 740i / 740Li Announced for US - First 6-cylinder since 1992

Non-Americans know more about America than Right-wing conservative Americans know about the world. Liberal Americans are generally better educated and knowledgeable about the world.

He's right, there's a reason these car makers don't import their full range of engines to the United States. MB makes all kinds of diesels and 4 cylinders that never make it stateside because Americans would never buy them. This is a country obsessed with excess. It's a country in which people need a Ford Triton V8 to grab a quart of whole milk at the grocery store.

mercedes did do just that. the previous generation w220 s-clas (2006 MY)was offered in the states in a v6, short-wheelbase version. the americans in most mercedes car forums absolutely hated it, and the car did not sell well. they saw it as something that cheapened the flagship. and thus, with the new model year, the short-wheelbase w221 was no longer offered in the states. fortunately, canadians are more open to the idea of a smaller, more efficient s-class in the form of the short-wheelbase s450 which is still being sold today in their country. so if anything, mercedes already learned their lesson with dealing with the americans. don't give them the short s-class and the b-class, and give them the gl-class instead.

Lol, true. but I LOVED the 2006 S350. I thought it was a good size, and IMO it looked better. And Ive seen the S450, you lucky Canadian bastards... Lol. Also, as an American, if they brought over the B class or anything less than the C class, yes, I would be upset.

i actually like the b-class. i like the idea of it, i think mercedes just needs to revise it again to garner better acceptance. the b-class should be more luxurious to befit its marque. it needn't be bigger or anything, just have all the goodies that you would expect on a mercedes. and fortunately, the b-class does well here in canada. i see at least one everyday when i go out and i think it's a good way to start the climb in the mercedes brand. hell, in richmond, british columbia, they're as common as civics or glks (that latter makes me real happy as i'm an owner of a glk as well). everyone says that the b-class should go after the 1-series by making it sporty and less practical. i think otherwise. mercedes should make a proper c-coupe and not that horrendous clc-class that they have in europe (since the clk is no longer and was replaced by the e-coupe). let that car go after the 1-series, and let the b-class be their small, practical sports tourer. and knowing mercedes, add a blk-class alongside it to face the x1 since mercedes loves to exploit every possible segment that it can think of. and yes, i love the s450. maybe i'll get a used one one day.

Ive alweighs kinda liked the B class too... just the front and wheels makes me wheel... eh... im not sure. and I agree, I think the E class coupe shuld be more of an 6 series competiter and Mercedes should bring back the CLK as a 3 series competiter (im srry i cnt spell) oh yeah, btw, u got cool points for having a GLK. I have a 260E and C300 luxury.

As an American I disagree, in America it's all baout what you have, and if having a 6 cylinder engine means you can say "I driver a 7 series" they will buy it.
