    The NY Times has a review of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML350 (which is very similar in platform to the current Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango). I was intrigued when I learned that they're offering it with the BlueTec diesel, till I found this caption:

    They also described one of their test vehicles as having an MSRP roughly 50% more than its base price (bringing it to more than $74,000).

    Now, I realize that Mercedes-Benz has never sold "mainstream" cars but I have to shake my head sometimes and marvel at how different my (arguably comfortable and pleasant) lifestyle differs from that of some others.

    Link?

    Yes Adblue isn't cheap though I've heard you can substitute it with store-bought brands; it doesn't have to be from the dealer.

    Then again, it is a Mercedes-Benz and you pay for the cachet.
