I agree with you—I had a Mk6 GTI that I think is one of the most gorgeous cars ever and now have a Mk 7.5 Alltrack. Worlds apart equipment wise [infotainment which I don’t really even care about much in aggregate and the lighting] and I would take the package of the Mk7 over the Mk6 even though I do think the Mk6 drew…

but you drive a subrau......a company that recently admitted they don’t do a good job at quality control and has its fair share of issues.

That ad campaign is continuing to come back to haunt Mercedes as Automotive News reports today that Elon Musk in an effort to take the heat off his SNAFU has been getting his friends to complain multiple consumer and automotive safety groups have complained to the Federal Trade Commission...

Wait? They offered him a perfectly fine rental car to use instead of the Merc and the guy got 5 grand on top of that? How is offering him something besides a Mercedes unfair treatment? You got a ride to use while your car was being serviced stop complaining.

The article seems a little misleading. The dealership provided a car. Sure it wasn't one of their normal loaners, but it was a car.

Can't speak for him, but until I retired, I worked in medical device QA, making sure the pacemaker the doctor puts in a heart patient works the way it's supposed to.
