And not even a Reliant Robin pictured, that's a Rialto

Guess they've pulled that from a UK standard (eu too I think). Green for unleaded and black for diesel, used to be red for leaded.

I know there will always be a market to cater for the "bigger, better, faster" crowd. But the core reason to travel that quickly has long gone in the days of a zoom call.

Its 93lb, the 76 is a different heavy bike for comparison 

Surely there's been a sparkling wine every year in memory, it's been a champagne.

Because the pattern of use has changed.

Actually that may only be the US (possibly a reflection of vehicle size). Imagine specs given are for European markets and the backup camera will have to be standard across the range in the US

Cities need to be more pedestrian focused, but I understand the US is coming from behind here so it’s a harder push.

The G wagon is just a shopping trolley these days. Doesn't matter how capable it is, it's a rich persons Corolla.

I does make sense that you’d find older vehicles, even with the multinationals. Cara have to be shipped out and then back again at the end of their rental life, you’d want to extend that cycle s long as possible.

Also these days if you need a meeting between your New York and London offices you turn to zoom/teams or something similar, not transatlantic flight.

If M stands for marketing, what does the competition part mean?

Yes but not if you’ve spent your life never being told no.

AMG G classes are purely for wealthy mums to take their kids to school in Chelsea, London.

Its for wealthy suburban parents who want to one up all the AMG G wagon owning neighbours. Until they all buy one that is.

I notice most of these aren't bad cars, mostly built to a cost and served a low end market (and mostly well), or built far too long but decent enough at introduction.

Covid being an obvious example of how the poor are expected to pay.

Some people have strange ideas, I was told on this very site that I have no right to work towards working in automotive design, simply because I don’t currently own one.

Cheers for the reply, we’re all human.

Do you guys talk to each other?
