Mercedes Benz Group AG is considering shifting the production of another vehicle model to the US in response to Donald Trump’s 25% auto tariffs.
The move may be necessary to deal with the cost of the duties, Mercedes’ production chief Jörg Burzer said Thursday, declining to comment on which model may be moved to its factory in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
I worked at a Mercedes dealer when the M-Class was coming out of Alabama. They were not great. Kind of on par with Chrysler minivan build quality.
That’s the car I was thinking of specifically. Wasn’t a good time overall for Mercedes though, to be fair.
