...and that interior...

Oh, fuck off. Does it really add to the discussion if we have to read this same comment at the top of every article with a non-American brand? Enough already.

He’s certainly not infallible, but he has decades of experience with a vast swaths of cars, has been around a large number of experts, and has had extensive driver training.

Right.

I’ve long though it would be a clever make for a make to forgo pretentious and nonsensical model names and just name all its models after what model of car they are, such that the large CUV would be the “[Make] Large Crossover,” the subcompact would be the “[Make] subcompact” or “Subcompact Hatch” (because we all know…

ill assume the top is only up for the photo

RWD car + snow + winter tires = the best thing ever i agree.

The article specifically says they don’t expect to recover their losses. Good try tho

The issue wasn’t that Daimler tore apart a competitor’s car - as stated, that’s been going on for decades. The issue here is that Daimler rented a vehicle, tore it apart, then put it back together. I’m pretty sure that’s against whatever rental agreement you get from any rental car company. What’s worse is that this…

What a bunch of wankers. RENTING a car for internal research? And it’s MB, they’ve got LOADS of cash to afford to take apart hundreds of cars if they needed to. Instead, they screwed over a small business owner, all for the cost of 2-3 brand new MB cars (i.e. a new Tesla). Corporate greed continues in all countries…

I mean, there are probably used low mile ones for sale.

If you can’t beat em, rent their customer cars and tear them apart.

James May on Clarkson’s about the “twat”virus was quite funny.

Yep, they’re both blue. Good eye.

At least the interior finally matches the price...the old one was disappointing in that regard.

That’s like asking why we need both the A4 and the A6

There’s a whole universe of “commercial” vans that people tend to overlook. They’re not sexy, but you can get a ton of car for your money.

Meh. I daily drive an ‘86 Suburban and my family fits in it just fine. One car seat, two booster seats, and then four more kids ranging in height from 4'2" to 5'8". I myself am 6'1" and 210lbs. You can find a ‘72-’91 Suburban for next to nothing anywhere.

Needing 5 ECUs and needing all 5 of them to “agree” with each other isn’t my idea of exquisite engineering. This is one of the long list of cars I’d love to drive in mint condition once, but never own.

Also, this is data for ‘81-now, and the 80s MBs are built better than many tanks.
