Again, politicians and Wall Street, not pensions.

The problems that you should see are politicians and Wall Street, not pensions.

And holy shit this is a real thing.

And this is all I see.

The interior of the one I sat in felt cheap, especially for a luxury vehicle. When you add that the engine is a dog, I don’t understand why anyone would want one other than badge whoring, like stated above.

That would explain why I see so many people driving CLA 250s.

You have to be able to tune this engine up to half respectable numbers, right? 180 hp/200 ft lbs of torque is base model Altima territory. And not that I’m really comparing the two, but I would expect more out of an engine built by Ze Germans.

100% agreed. These are usually pretty easy to spot (if you’re not the wife in question, apparently).

You think Northern California is bad? They are downright professional  compared to the southerners when it rains.

Doesn’t want: To have to fly to Italy to find parts

Yes, it’s a sales ploy. Nothing like this has ever happened before, not even in the last 6 weeks.

Better yet, instead of just using it occasionally, having one of these would give you carte blanche to park like an asshole 100% of the time.

Neutral: The Machines

Due to the vast mysteries of the universe and gravity, the Earth is round...

“I’ll get Chrysler to make the fastest cars ever! They’ll be so fast, you won’t even believe it. They’ll be the best, fastest cars made with the biggest, best engines ever created. Believe me, I know cars better than the car company CEOs do”.

Is that the Catera? I thought that was the Cimarron, or the “Cadillac Cavalier”. Not that it matters, they were equally awful.

What’s the price point on these? I can’t find any information on them at all.

Because Mercedes actually makes a wagon in the US for, you know, men.

But does it have a built in mini bar in the glove box? (a little NSFW language)

It’s my 5%, not theirs. If it’s statistically insignificant, feel free to throw 5% of your paycheck out the window every week, since hey, it’s only 5%.
