I'm surprised they're scaling back production. They went on sale here in Ontario last year, and from what I understand, the dealerships can't keep them in stock. It's a 2-3 month waiting list for the cabrios. I think it's a bit easier to get a coupe. They're not electric or diesel (at least not the ones on sale here). They're just extremely fuel efficient, and really cheap ($16K for the coupe, $19 for the cabrio, with about $3k in options available, if memory serves). Something like $4 in gas for a 250km trip, at about $0.80/litre.
The new CEO said they don't contribute enough to the bottom line. Buy them now. Perhaps Z-man will ring in the true MB party line, I get it from my brother who works there. Here's some fun photos of the standard one (not the sport).
