Since Reithoffer and Kruger are the only two board member coming, my bet is this is either just another expansion for the existing models or possibly the addition of an already existing model. If its the latter, my bet would be on the 3-Series. But thats purely because MBUSI is now producing the C-Class.
You overlook how an important export market for a luxury SAV is not only beneficial to that country for sales but also in manufacturing and the country that manufactured it.
