The whole VAG is badge engineering from Passat/Superb, Phaeton/Continental all the way up to R8/Huracan.

Well $60k is Tahoe, Expedition, Infiniti QX80 money. All of which offer a lot of towing capacity and utility. Now, a $60k E-Class or 5-series is a different story.

Only that the Tesla can do the 2.8 secs run exactly once a day before you have to let the batteries cool down and get passed by soccer moms in their ML350s.

It can be had with a Diesel of course. Just not in the US...

Where do you live? I’d be glad to check.

We send all our cars to a Mercedes certified & specialised but free workshop once they’re out of warranty. Never spent over $200 on maintenance. Even the parts at the Mercedes dealer are cheaper than those of VW for example, while labor will run you a lot more at the “normal” dealers.

Yes it is and no I’m not. C’mon Cadillac sounds at least as nice as Mercedes so there’s no reason not to like it.

It might look the same, but once you touch all the stuff inside you’ll know it’s really not any better than a base LaCrosse quality wise.

Not without reason the preferred medical car for F1 has always been a C-Class AMG wagon.

Let’s not forget the Mercedes 560 SEL V8 made 280hp...Calling anything above 200hp “pathetic” is simply pathetic.

Simply go take a seat in a new Range Rover or a GL-Class. Everything clicks into place properly, feels premium and theres no smell of glue or faulty stitching whatsoever.

Is this the new A-Class in Mexico?

Yep I have been in the ATS, new CTS, SRX and new Escalade. That’s where my observations come from. Looked at pretty much all cars at dealers in the US and UAE.

Cadillacs may look and drive great, but they’re still way too expensive for the crappy interior and lack of room they offer.

He likes selling the cheaper models, as a luxury brand is more of a pain in the ass to sell

How is that clear?

“Cadillac makes a really nice airport limousine with the CT6” - Happy now? I think it’s amazing to think how stuff like ABS, airbags or adaptive cruise all debuted on the S-Class.

The DeTomaso crossover, first presented at the 2011 Geneva saloon. Saw it in the flesh, beautiful and well proportioned car. The interior was very BMW-like judging by look and feel.

Beige leather is beautiful. Beige cars are as well. I’d have a cubanite silver V221 S550 with cashmere beige leather in my driveway by this evening if I had the cash.

I agree, though it has to be mentioned in addition to the abnormally high wear and tear any special options will quickly contribute to the car falling apart. Be it automatic transmission, sunroofs, automatic climate control etc. All these things will definitely fail at some point which is why there seem to be loads of…
