Congratulations! I was looking very closely at a 2027 Mercedes GLC 300.
But then I found out that from model year 2027 onward, the GLC class will no longer be manufactured in Germany for the North American market, but instead will be made in the USA (Alabama) of all places.
Somehow, I just can't see a prestige automobile like a Mercedes Benz being made in Alabama! I mean, nothing could be more diametrically opposite to each other!
Because I live in Canada, that GLC I wanted will now be tariffed to hell and back thanks to Trump, but also because Mercedes in their infinite wisdom decided that their Canadian market would be serviced by vehicles made in the USA. Big mistake! No wonder Germany lost the Canadian submarine building contract to Norway!
Canadians are not buying ANY vehicles at all that are made in the USA, which is why the car Dealership lots in Canada which sell American-made cars are still FULL of cars and pickup trucks that nobody wants and still have brand new 2025s on the lot with zero mileage on them that they can't even give away at cost.
