BREAKING NEWS: Mercedes-Benz USA Fires CEO

Or got caught fucking something he was not suppose to be. . .

Yeah, maybe its his inability to lead his organization to bring clean diesels (4-cylinder ones that actually get decent mileage) to the US market. It seems it has always been "2 years out" for MBUSA....

Oh, and his inability bring manual tranny versions of MBs to the US....

Good cars, bad product feature decisions, bad marketing.

What??? Manual mb's exist? haha I thought that was a company wide policy.

Manual transmission MBs won't sell well in the US and they'll have poor resale value. This is even the case in Europe already. Has been for decades.

Just because twenty guys on an Internet forum lust for an M/T Benz won't persuade the company to bring them over.

Good, that just means a manual transmission Mercedes will cost less than a certified pre-owned automatic.

Not true.
The M Class has won many postive reviews and many professional car magazines has chosen it as one of the best if not the best SUV in its class.

Not sure how old this interview is, it does refer to $2 gas, down from $4.

He didn't like ze doctor's mustache.

Great to see CEOS being fired, maybe the company is cutting costs, they are starting on the right end, they should replace him with a car enthusiast just out of university, and pay him 6 figures max, I guarantee they would do just the same job as paying them the ridiculous wage they are getting now.

Hopefully that pink tie and porno-star mustache played a role in his firing.
