Extra weight on one of the worst parts of the car.

Hot garbage.

Also. Sunroof delete.

Plus it looks cheap. It screams cost cutting.

How about leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. I will move up a trim level just for that.

I don’t know which is worse. This or proper tire chains on the non-drive wheels.

Reverse: That moniker of “world’s largest” is a dangerous one. Car companies do stupid things to keep that title.

The V series was only available on the S320 in the states.

That’s a racket these days.

The only Michelins that seem great are the ultra high performance tires like the Pilot Sport Cup series. Their passenger car tires always seem to have bad reviews.

Let’s also get rid of telescoping steering columns. It’s so much better to have the steering wheel crush your chest. Crumple zones are overrated. I just want ornamental steel with nothing devoted to the crash structure. Headrests also are bad for looking macho. I want a bench seat so that I take my whiplash like a man.

Yes. The average annual income of an E class buyer is $250k. This is from over 10 years ago. Of that demographic, 25% make over $350k. Imagine how much higher that is today.

It’s a conspiracy. Knowing how Michelins love to prematurely wear out, it’s a cynical ploy to sell more tires.

Yes. They wil begin overcharging for their products despite the fact that you can’t identify one advantage over the competition. Then they will wear out before their rated mileage.

Sometimes, old money does some weird stuff though, like driving really old cars that provide zero crash protection. This isn’t one of those examples, but plenty others.

I’m a very big believer in the philosophy that the drink must match the food. Most over hoppy beers are too strong tasting for the strong tasting foods I like to eat. And no. I don’t sit and intelectualize my beers. I drink them.

Ironically, more people will throw up if people are downing milk vs alcohol.

Toyoda.

But was it a manual?

Unfortunately, the craft beer movement thinks everything needs to be an IPA. No I don’t want my beer to always taste like licking a 9v battery and pine resin.
