Being better than human and still hitting this woman are not mutually exclusive.

Do people really cross-shop a E-Class and a GLC? I would think they’d be looking at the GLE instead.

I have provided a test where it ran in the middle of the pack, and a video where it also finished in the middle of the pack. You have provided nothing but useless opinions and exaggerations.

Don’t be dense. I didn’t say it was the same damn car. Obviously it isn’t.

They definitely need to give it more time. The E-class they’re comparing it to has been around since, what, the mid 90s? That’s a lot of time for iterative improvement.

That’s the first and only time I’ve heard the Supras’ handling described as “razor sharp”. Based on the sentence that precedes it in the article, I question the author’s perspective of what ‘razor sharp’ is.

I’m curious as to your source for these ‘facts’, because I have a 1997 issue of Motor Trend that begs to differ.

Not sure where you live in NH, but if you’re ever down near Worcester, BT’s Smokehouse is pretty damn good. Even got props from Gordon Ramsay.

Probably the only exception is the to your no-SUV-rule is the Land Cruiser, which seems surprisingly popular among the old-money affluent, at least in New England.

Seems to me like they have a ripe opportunity to bring back the Fiero name. Chevrolet Fiero, or Chevrolet Corvette Fiero, or something like that.

People who can afford to drop $85k on a SUV care. You may not, but they do. Why do you think Lexus, BMW, Audi, and Mercedes dealerships are generally so highly rated in terms of customer service?

Yeah, but on the other hand, what kind of dealership experience do you get when buying these things from a Toyota dealer? I’m not sure I’d be satisfied with a traditional Toyota dealership experience if I’m dropping ~85 large on a SUV. Same deal with service, I demand to be coddled when I come in for warranty…

Peasants.

Don’t forget the S. I don’t think you can buy a plebian E63 Wagon in the US, only the E63S.

While I can’t speak to its reliability, I’ve had that engine in a XC60 T6 loaner vehicle that I was given while my car was in the shop for it’s 60k service. Compared to the 6-cylinder T6 from previous generations, the 4-banger T6 feels gutless. It may have 300hp on paper, but it really has to rev to get decent…

My take on this is based on Goodyear raising the speed rating from 65mph to 75mph. If so, it’s hard to blame the consumer for not knowing that was beyond the tires’ capabilities.

The article clearly states that Goodyear raised the rating to 75mph, even though the tires were originally designed for 65mph or less.

When the tire was first made in early 1996, the G159 was speed-rated at 65 mph max. Shortly after, however, some states increased their speed limits to 75 mph.

‘Snaked’ is such a strong word. I prefer the term ‘aggressive acquisition’.
