#51 of 693 The R-Class by chris65amg Jul 16, 2005 (9:11 am)
Is worlds different from the Pacifica. I don't see a thing alike between them other than the fact that they are both not quite SUVs and not quite vans. I've heard good things about the R-Class thus far. Replies to this message: navigator89 (Jul 16, 2005 4:16 pm)

Replying to: chris65amg (Jul 16, 2005 9:11 am) Definitely.   Power, interior, exterior design, features, handling. The R class doesnt share any of these with the Pacifica.   I don't know if they share parts or not, but I do know the R class is not a dressed up Pacifica the way and Escalade/QX56/LX470 are.
#53 of 693 R Pricing by rockypaul Jul 20, 2005 (1:28 pm)
http://www.mbusa.com/main/features/rclass/index.jsp   The pricing I received from M-B USA starts at $48,775 for the R-350.   Anyone thinks this a disguised Pacifica has lost their auto enthusiast gene!

#54 of 693 R-Class/Pacifica by rktech Jul 31, 2005 (12:22 pm)
I don't think the R-Class is a redressed Pacifica, but conceptually the two are very similiar...seating setup, and overall size. As I understand it, the R is roughly the same size as the Town&Country van, perhaps not quite as tall, and is rear wheel drive...again, all quite like the Pacifica.   Now, true to MB form, the interior and mechanical features are thoroughly upgraded...they're marketing to a different set of folks than the typical Pacifica driver.

#58 of 693 Ordered my R350 by innhitman Aug 02, 2005 (5:44 am)
I have been on the waiting list at my dealership for almost 2 years now... was actually #1...   I have ordered the R350 silver/black...   with airmatic, premium pkg, rear side airbags, sirius, comfort, etc... listing at about 61k   Haven't decided if it will be a lease or a buy.... leaning toward lease because newer engines will be out shortly thereafter....   Was surprised that Blue Tooth is not mentioned in this first vehicle.... hmmmm... that is a much needed feature in this day of cell phone ticketing..............   Also getting a new 3 series 4wd for drives where I don't need to haul people... should be a good winter..

Replying to: innhitman (Aug 02, 2005 5:44 am) Well the R350 won't be getting a new engine, but of course for the 2007 model year the R500 will get the new 382hp 5.5L V8 from the new S-Class.   M Replies to this message: wopel (Aug 04, 2005 12:56 pm) carbuilder (Nov 27, 2005 2:00 am)

Replying to: merc1 (Aug 02, 2005 8:16 pm) I have looked at the options time and again for the R Class and don't believe I see anything about a roof rack. It would seem to me that a station wagon/suv/etc type vehicle would have one. I don't use the one I have regularly, but it's a nice feature to have when I need it. Do you or anyone have any info on this? Thanks, W Replies to this message: carbuilder (Nov 27, 2005 2:00 am)
