All-New Mercedes-Benz R-Class Will Make Its Global Debut at New York
Auto Show
Monday March 21, 10:13 am ET

MONTVALE, N.J., March 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercedes-Benz will hold the
world debut of its all-new R-Class luxury vehicle during press
activities preceding the New York Auto Show. The Mercedes-Benz press
conference is scheduled for 10.20 a.m. EST on March 23rd. Detailed
information on the new R-Class and a wide selection of photography will
be available concurrently for accredited news media professionals on
the MBUSA News Media Website at http://media.mbusa.com .

An entirely new type of Mercedes-Benz, the new R-Class combines the
distinct advantages of several disparate vehicles -- the versatility of
an all-weather sport utility vehicle, the performance of a fine sports
sedan and the stylish comfort of a luxury wagon. Innovative design and
useful technology now make possible an automotive decathlete -- a
Mercedes-Benz sports tourer that can excel at an unprecedented range of
owner needs.
