It is by design. Not salacious greed as it often is in the automotive industry, by in this case it is by safety design. In modern designs, i.e. anything in the last ten years, everything is designed to absorb impact and break rather than stay rigid and survive but transmit the shock and full deceleration to that most…

well, less visible damage. The crumple zones are probably comprimised, which means a bunch of structural work, which equals $$$.

With all due respect, it takes a lot less estimated repair to total a Hyundai.

You took a joke and went way too serious with it, bub.

Long-term reliability is, like, the 358th most important thing for S-Class buyers.

But nobody who buys this new will still have it in 5 years. The fools who buy them used get to deal with those issues.

Stable condition after being shot in the leg? I would think thank would make one considerably unstable.

So because i don’t like riding public transportation with bums and it doesn’t go anywhere i need it to i should feel guilty for driving?

You and your 3.5 doors don’t belong.

I wanted to say this, but this is Jalopnik. If it’s not old and/or falling apart, it’s not cool, or so they yell at me.

Easy, this one.

If people could get used to a 4cyl mustang, then a v6 truck should come easily.

This is a pretty nice feature, but I’ll be that guy and say that a big assed trailer like that isn’t too hard to back up. I’d be excited to have it for a little trailer though. Those things are squirrely.

Rocket scientist isn’t a job title

Haha, me speculate. I almost bought a mint 1969 Camaro SS that some old woman inexplicably thought was only worth $15k. I considered it, and the thought better of it since I would have ended up keeping it and driving the hell out of it and I could t afford to not flip it of I bought it. Told the woman where to consign…

I thought the 917 didn’t sell. Online website says sale at 3million but it didn’t hit reserve during the auction for a similar amount?
