Three reasons why AMG will not build the Mercedes X-Class

Unveiled about three weeks ago, the Mercedes Concept X-Class serves as a preview for a production pickup truck from Daimler scheduled to go on sale towards the end of 2017. Don’t hold your breath for a high-performance version because Mercedes-AMG boss Tobias Moers has made it clear it won’t happen, for three legitimate reasons.

First and foremost, there wouldn’t be a market big enough to justify the model’s existence. Moers explains that while it would probably be well-received in Australia, in order for an AMG-ified X-Class model to exist there would have to be demand for it in other countries as well, which according to Mercedes’ analysis would certainly not be the case.

Reason #1 It's a Nissan Navara with an ugly makeover so they can build it in the Third World sweat factories that build the Navara.
