Dude, I generally like Mercedes, but three articles in two days gushing about the E-Class (or any car for that matter), one of which being a slide show refuting complaints (some being legitimate and some trolls), is a bad look. The only thing that came close to a negative was the fact you didn’t hit the EPA MPG. It…

Um, don’t Kia’s electronic parking brakes automatically engage when you park like a lot of vehicles now? Or is that another way they cheaped out to save a buck risking safety, again?

Dodge demon. Not that one, this one:

I like leather, our 2016 SE had leather, and all our cars have always had it. I get jealous of my wife’s ventilated seats and heated wheel so I’d want those. Plus I considered the Rabbit edition a while back in the great blue but couldn’t bring myself to get a car without a sunroof and premium sound since they’re…

Which has absolutely nothing to do with my comment, on the values of MK7 versus MK8 on the pre-owned market.

Older kids can squish, complain, and manage. But when you have a 2 year old and a second on the way there’s no way two rear-facing seats are fitting in a Mini.

It’s just change for the sake of change which is stupid. I like the old one a lot more. Can’t wait for this trend of everything being stripped down to nothing and boring to be over.

I think more of it is the fact that GTI buyers are enthusiasts and watch/read about them, and the initial complaints about the MK8 kept demand for the MK7 high. Now that there’s a decent supply of MK8s and people have come to terms with the fact that the tech isn’t as bad as the dramatic reviewers put it out to be…

Yeah here the equivalent new is about $1k off MSRP of ~$42k, but the autobahns sell new before they get in especially the manuals (last year of them and all) so either gotta commit sight unseen or pay about $4k less for an SE without leather.

The W211 Mercedes E-Class. Interior dated-ness aside, both the sedan and the wagon are still incredibly handsome cars when kept in good shape.

Looks like he sold it post was deleted.

I said the same thing, here’s one at my local dealer and it’s a manual. 

I would love a Mini, but they just don’t work for a lot of people.

Was it a special ordered through BMW Individual or whatever they call it? I don’t recall it ever being offered on the M5, pretty sure the only light-blue-ish non-PTS color was Estoril Blue which is this:

With how many software updates EVs get these days there’s no way these won’t be essentially bricked in 5 years time.

It’s too bad it was only really available on the 4-Series and ugly-ass 2-series sedan. I love the look of the 4GC but want an I6 manual with that color and 4 doors.

China is basically the equivalent of the nosy HOA Karen that falls down claiming you hit her even though you have the whole thing on camera and she was actually the one assaulting you.

1st: This sounds more like incompetence to me than outright scamming.

Yep, it’s some discrimination thing I believe, if you offer it to one you have to offer it to everyone.

People can enjoy themselves however they want, I really don’t care. But if a social media site goes away, who is really affected? The format isn’t unique anymore, and people monetize other social media sites too. The only people it truly affects are the ones that are too short sighted to realize that tech/social media…
