New Mercedes-Benz Pickup To Carry X-Class Badge

The second largest luxury automaker in the world has been keeping details concerning its upcoming Nissan Navara-inspired pickup truck close to headquarters.

So in the preceding months not many rumors about the model have been flying across the mill – but that changes today – the latest report is here to paint a wider picture, one that arguably includes the name of the model. According to the source, the pickup truck has been recently mentioned at a “top-secret Australian design forum” where attendees were told the model would come with an X Class or maybe even Z Class designation. The former is believed to be the main favorite as executives see it as painting a better picture of ruggedness and off-road capability – and maybe if it pans out it would even tie with the current mutant franchise that has the same naming scheme (you know, Wolverine, Professor X and Jennifer Lawrence, sorry Mystique).

"X" is sooo overdone and really smacks of SUV's - also brand confusion with BMW.

The should have chosen "T" class for 'truck' or "H" class for 'hauler'.

X is the least creative badge they could have come up with. Did the janitor pick that name? If it is any one higher up, they are getting over paid.

i see all the yuppie weekend warriors driving this to their local coffee shop...and maybe they might drive over a speed bump to make it really exciting.
