Who buys a camry cause its fast?

Good move.

Do we have to keep calling these things crossovers? Full frame or unibody they get used the same. The unibody suv’s of old didn’t need to be called crossovers. Do we call cars crossovers once they went to unibody, or jyst cars because that's what they are. They aren't really crossing anything over. I don't know it's…

Ford would be far from the first to go down the performance path for an cuv. Maybe if they actually put in a manual. But more like following the europeans.

But you have to live in Iowa 

As a 40 something auto technician that started out in his parents garage at a young age and started working for a major German luxury brand in 1995. I don’t understand your apprehension now. The auto industry also did software updates via discs and boy would that take a long time. Software updates over the internet…

Doesnt this dude run drag radicals and a stripped interior.

This applies to the whole brand. I mistake s-class coupes for the c. I think a c is an e. I also work for MB and am totally let down by these new cars.

I like the 20-40 test. I don’t like the locked in 4th gear part. They should choose gearing based on final drive numbers. But let’s be honest v8 vs 4cyl turbo will always win this test. It’s not realistic to drive a 4cyl turbo at those speeds in 4th gear. I feel 3rd is more realistic at this speed for a fair…

This is true but these cars may also have different rear end ratios. I like the 20-40 mph test. But I don't like the static gear requirement of 4th... even back then. An auto car would downshift so why can't manual. I get that isn't what the test is but I think they should look at final drive ratios and perform the…

I don't understand limos...

I work at a busy Mercedes dealer as a tech. We could care less where you bought it and hardly even look. If you haven’t been with us before we will be trying to win your repeat business.

Yep, if we look at car and can not reproduce the issue I do not get paid. Mechanics are paid on labor charges completed. If I can not bill you or warranty labor I do not get paid, end of story. We don’t charge for everything though. If you have a complaint for a noise while I do service and just say have a quick look…

Yeah this sounds like domestic car dealer thing. They probably do this a lot cause they get paid more from you then the factory. I would suspect they try this on clients who bought there too. They just threw out that you didn’t buy it here to make you feel guilty and accept the charge.

Thats a pretty low amount for an hour. I'm 225$ an hour. Though I am at a Mercedes dealer in a major city.

Why doesn't he just sue

Why would he not have health insurance? What country do you live in?

Why of all things do you not understand this.

No, he is referring to an SL not an SLK. The K in SLK was for Kompakt which would be the small reference.

This is correct. SLK stood for Sport Leicht Kompakt or spot light compact.
