Fast isn't fast; tailgating is fast!

A big part of those plans is to shake their stuffy, old man image and get younger buyers into their cars with sporty compacts designed under the guidance of Gorden Wagener who, for the industry, is an almost juvenile 45 years old.

The two cars to look at in this dynamic are the Mercedes GLA and Mercedes CLA.

I didn't endorse nuclear in my either, m'dear. Anyway, here are some pretty graphs http://www.wunderground.com/climate/eviden… . I'm not going to debate much because neither of us are about to change how we feel.
