Mercedes-Benz Confirms New Pickup To Be Assembled By Nissan And Will Share Parts With Navara

Daimler AG will expand its cooperation with strategic partner Nissan to develop a midsize pickup for Mercedes-Benz.

The new Mercedes-Benz pickup will target commercial and private clients and will share some of the underpinnings with an all-new Nissan NP300 truck, Daimler and Nissan said in a joint statement.

Mercedes will decide by the end of this year whether to sell the pickup in the United States, Steve Cannon, CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA, said last week.

So MB is going to start offering an overpriced Nissan? What a joke. How stupid would someone need to be? Want to tell everyone you have a small penis? Rid in an Escalade, not a rebadged Nissan.
