The competition -- Benz R-Class
BMW is launching a luxury MPV. A disguised object looking more like a left-over vehicle from the Second World War has been spotted lapping the track in spy shots (link below).
According to one report, it's due to be called a V series, analogous to BMW's X-Series 4x4s and will carry six passengers. Competition includes Mercedes' upcoming R-Class luxury MPV.
The report suggests that weight-saving measures, with the aim of preserving a little dynamic capability, include a carbon fibre roof. It won't be cheap, then. Apparently, it's aimed primarily at the US market.
Is there no shame in these people's hearts?
