This is what happens when manufacturers build cars based on focus groups. A luxury work truck? Why yes we absolutely need those.

With the trend of mainlander's obsession with F150s, I am not looking forward seeing more luxury pickup options available in the market.
T minus however the fuck many days til this car gets released when Richmond is no longer driveable for normal people  | |

why does it matter what brand/type of vehicle bad drivers have?
I think that's only valid if a car has poor visibility without any nanny aids...which I'm sure this will have.

Nanny aids are not a solution to shitty driving.

With the top of the line F150 and GMCs selling for $70k+, this is a no brainer for Merc/BMW/Audi to enter the truck game. Margins are massive (relatively low tech) and it is a new lucrative segment for the germans. Remember when people thought Porsche was crazy developing a SUV?
With how crazy the Hummer looking G wagon sells, I think new non truck customers will be buying these German trucks...

How often do you see all those SUV in the cities go off-road?

As if those who would buy luxury pickups would go for something that's not American anyway.

If you travel Europe and Asia, you can see how there's almost no market for full size pickup trucks.
