You think it's capitalism?
Don't make me laugh. Capitalism lowers prices, creates no barriers to entry except those imposed by intelligence and innovation, and raises the quality of life for every person who enters the market.
How is any form of government intervention in a market considered capitalism, or the failure thereof? You've been spoon-fed ignorance and stupidity and somehow managed to like the taste.
There is collusion between the government and large businesses to drive other businesses out of the market, creating cartels and advancing a form of fascism known to Americans as "health and safety regulations." These regulations decrease options available to you and me and result in loss of purchasing power.
Capitalism would've welcomed any and all grey market cars as simply supply meeting a demand, and Mercedes-Benz (along with BMW and the rest of the manufacturers) would have had to adapt to the change in market condition. Instead, they went crying to big daddy Yankee and had him put a stop to a little freedom in the name of MBZ's tax and campaign contribution money.
