Is M-Class a Yawner?

General Motors Europe President Carl-Peter Forster says he is impressed by the products presented by the Japanese makers, although he has a special place in his heart for a number of GM products, of course.

He says he is disappointed with the design of the new Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUV, however.

“I told the Mercedes guy I thought they could have done better with the M-Class to make it a little more new and exciting,” he tells Ward's.

Meanwhile, Mercedes-Benz bills the second-generation M-Class as a “beguiling blend of heavily contoured surfaces and taut lines” of “majestic character.”
