I just bought one as a dedicated winter vehicle to keep the salt off my C63. It has every single piece of technology my C63 has, is only 0.5 seconds slower to 60mph, and with a set of snow tires it absolutely owned the blizzards that hit New England this weekend.

I DD a CLA45 and I get about 12 MPG. It may be “possible” to get good gas mileage but if you drive these cares like they deserve, you won’t. Just the amount of overly indulgent downshitfting I do coming to every light to hear the burble-pop prolly costs me about 10 MPG. And it’s totally worth it.

Excuse Me?

So if the Model X gets the summon feature, you can ask your Tesla if it wants to go walkies, have it perk up its ears in delight, and then follow through all from the fob.

Uh, the S62 is hardly a tuned-up M62. And the e60 will continue to depreciate for a few more years, manuals less so.

As you probably know, they are an homage to the wheels on earlier W220 S600:

Wheels should match the trim and bumpers. Old vehicles can pull off chrome since the entire front and back ends of the vehicles are chrome. Now we know we should be getting brushed aluminium at the bling price point, so machined finish is a must if the wheels have to shine. I still give Mercedes respect for attempting…

That conversations happens more than we would like at Benz dealers.

how exactly does one sustainably source rocks?... do they plant new ones?

Musk must be very pleased by this news.

I’m confused, what’s wrong with anything that was pointed out?

If you put Diesel in a gas car, it will get pissed off and run like crap, worse as you go up in concentration, up to and including a crank/no start condition, but not usually any permanent damage. The rules change when putting Gasoline in a diesel vehicle. In most cases where heui injectors are involved, you’re buying…

Here’s an idea: Leave the damn cars ALONE! They’re not yours, and unless you’re from code enforcement, they’re not your concern.

1) not every Subaru is a WRX. the base Impreza and Legacy I drove were total snoozes.

Whenever I see things like this here I always wonder if it’s due to really poor grammar or the strange gremlins that the Kinja system seems to have when you attempt to cut and paste. In this instance I'm going with mostly the gremlins... but it wouldn't hurt if there was more proofreading going on here.

And the GLC has more room than the GLK both for occupants and cargo.

I’d like us all to realize that I accidentally referred to the SUVs (GLC and GLK) and not the new cars (SLC and SLK) and none of us noticed or made a big deal about it. Thanks for going along with it <3

I’m always baffled by the excuse “within company limits”. What limits? Are they in writing? Is there a specification? The dealer must have those documents if they can state it’s outside company limits. Why can’t I see these documents?
