Stupid. So they are pulling what the Koreans, specifically Hyundai/Kia used to do with cars like the first gen Genesis, old Amanti and XG350. No badges gets people guessing “what kind of car is that?”. It’s a desperate and not a good look to be honest. If you can’t embrace your brand then I don’t know how you can…

2001 Mercedes E55 AMG. It’s better than an M5. Yes, really.
I’ll be you 20 bucks that Michael didn’t even get to write the healine. Here’s rule one of modern journalism (in this case “modern” going back at least 50 years). The person who wrote the article almost never wrote the headline on top of it.
That aside, the headline is also 100% factually inaccurate and not even that…
Ahhh, the obligatory a Volvo saved a life story. My driving test was taken in a 244GL, only ran into one problem, it could do a u-turn in the street they used for the 3-point turn. I was about 135 degrees around when I realized that it was going to do a u-turn, so I turned and asked the tester what I should do. He…

Top Gear America came back last night on BBC America with three new hosts. They drove Baja Bugs, the new Acura NSX,…
The electronic issues on these Phaetons is why I’d probably never buy one. If I wanted a problematic flagship with lots of power I’d rather get a 2003-2006 Mercedes S600. Same fancy features but with a better exterior design and way more powerful engine— those twin-turbo V12's made close to 500hp stock and could…
“The whole thing was assembled in a purpose-built, all-glass factory in Dresden, … If the Allies that bombed Dresden back to the Stone Age during World War II were using the Phaeton GPS, they never would have found it.”
Why should a Phaeton ever want to find Dresden? It was born there and never meant to come back.
“Since…
Interesting thought...
Why not, people bought Yugos with a 2 year warranty, because they were 2/3's the price of nearest competition. Look how that turned out.
Money isn’t that much of an issue, I’m sure I can find 2 interesting and decently reliable cars for less than what you paid for your M3. Sure, they likely won’t be as fast or as special, but they don’t have to be that far off.

Maybe not completely silent, but having a nice gutteral tone when you're romping on it.
