What does anyone know about this 7 seater wagon? I am looking really hard at getting one. But need to sell my TDI first.

There a Chrysler Pacifica with all the MBZ electronics, $$$ maintenance, and other headaches that goes with a MBZ. I work @ a MBZ dealer and wouldn't own a benz if someone gave it too me.

Funny I would have said the same for a VW but I've owned many of those with limited issues.

I did some checking and the frame is the only bit that is the pacifica. The rest is Benz. Thanks for the opinion.

Well local dealer has had the same R class on the lot now for at least a year as they aren't that popular. He also knows we drove a BMW X5 on the weekend and he said well the R will get out of here for $50 K (Remember, Canada). This is $23,000 less than the original asking price! I just about fell over.

Wife took it for a spin, likes everything about it except that it is silver. I may be driving one of these units shortly but I do not know for sure.
