Mercedes Benz Group AG is considering shifting the production of another vehicle model to the US in response to Donald Trump’s 25% auto tariffs.

The move may be necessary to deal with the cost of the duties, Mercedes’ production chief Jörg Burzer said Thursday, declining to comment on which model may be moved to its factory in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

    What I say is that people who buy luxury items usually do not engage in boycotts.

      I mean if you really want a luxury car you probably buy RR or something like that… Mercedes is not what it used to be in build quality etc…
