For Mercedes, 1997 was the year when it entered the SUV market by launching the M Class. To mark the 10th anniversary, the German carmaker recently unveiled a limited edition version dubbed Edition 10, with the label 'Edition 10' mounted on the car's fenders. The package includes a mix of a white paint, black grille, darkened headlamps and black tinted windows. It also comes with 20-inch wheels and bi-xenon headlights. On the inside, it features a two-tone interior with cream leather seats.
More than the SUV itself, this 10th anniversary also celebrates ten years of operation at the Tuscaloosa plant in Alabama. Mercedes-Benz' first passenger vehicle plant outside of Germany, the construction of the site was not without its problems. The main difficulty was in finding an educated workforce that could assemble the cars. Several times Mercedes Benz considered abandoning the project due to the poor qualifications of applicants. Finally, however, the first M-Class went into production and since then the plant has created more than 22,000 jobs.
