No 2022 Mercedes Benz V8s coming to USA
Did anyone else hear about this?
No MB alternative to the M5 for 2022 or the foreseeable future… https://www.motorauthority.com/news/...except-s-class

MB sells a ton of V8s in North America so it makes sense the S-Class keeps it, but it's a significant loss on the SUV front... No G-Class for a year? |

A 7 to 8 months wait. That's pretty darn long.

I think the chip shortage may be at least partly to blame

One of the current "theories" on MB World as to why there is a suspension of V8's. Honestly this does sound like the most likely to be true.
