There are many unattractive people in the world who, quite rightly, hide their faces from the public, so as not to frighten anyone. These people drive hardtops.

I cannot agree more. Because of weight. Maybe there is no replacement for displacement but there is also no technology that can compensate for the way a light car feels. To quote Colin Chapman, “simplify then add lightness”. I grew up in France and my first car, a Peugeot 205 was 825 kg !! (1800 lbs) for 80hp with…
For me, as a big ape of a dude, the benefit of the two door is that the bigger door opening makes levering my large self in and out easier. 95% of the time the back seats of my cars are nicely upholstered package shelves, so I could not care less about ease of access back there. So my preferred car types are either…
All I can say is I hope it looks better in person because the EQS and EQE sedans both look slightly less terrible in person. But unfortunately they remind me of the awkward cab-forward designs of LH Chryslers, and that FWD-looking stance is neither elegant nor sporty looking. I get that Merc, like Chrysler, designed…
My parents, bless them, should not be driving.

I don’t understand the condescending tone I see from media publications regarding companies continuing to make ICE engines... I for one, am happy to see that companies aren’t going all-in on EV’s, because there’s still a lot of people that prefer the range, reliability, and sounds of ICE engines. You’ll have to pry my…
Quite literally nothing.
It looks good and people like their city to look good. Also good for the already astronomical property values, and good for tourism (which is a huge chunk of revenue for lower market st/fishermans wharf etc) to have another whimsical thing to offer.
Sheesh, a GT at the start of the S550 generation was ten grand less than now.
+1 for the stupid always-illuminated gauges. So many people these days drive at night without their lights on because of this stupid change made to cars in recent years.
Power adjustable seats are the shit. You really have to be a Luddite to hate on that particular feature. Same with rear-view cameras - how can any Camaro owner hate on that feature with that wonderful rear visibility?
Poster here. The issue is not the feature itself, but the implementation of the feature.
Not sure about all you poors, but the auto stop/start in my Jag is imperceptible. the HVAC stays on, the seat heat stays on and I never wait for the engine to kick back on.
I’m not sure why these BMW owners are disabling that mirror feature. It’s was the exact opposite in the C7 Corvette: mirror tilt was disabled by default and you had to dig into the menus to enable it. It’s a golden feature for seeing the lines on parking spaces when backing into a spot.
1000% disagree with the Adjustable Power Seats....
The “Plaid” versions of the S and X do. They don’t have the shifter stalk, and have moved all the stuff that controls either onto the center screen, or onto the steering wheel.
You know it’s just a matter of time before someone hacks this and replaces the sound. I’d really want a clopidy-clop clop sound for my car!
My god this is dumb.
