This is why I like Jalopnik.

Old diesel mercedes like the 300D W123 with the OM617 are known for going more than 1 million km’s. I’ve seen cars with 1400000 km running (almost) as new. That’s 870k miles for you US folks.

No need to worry, I live in Europe and have no plans to move to the US.

From my experience (I’m talking about the cars and the cars only. I don’t want to get into the US elections, I already have my own country’s to worry about) the 300D has the lowest maintenence costs of any of these cars. Parts are easy to find and are less expensive than the other cars’ parts. But that’s in Europe, in…

So, as a non-american, what I’ve learned based on this is that Bernie Sanders is the one you can trust and the way to go.

But then how are they going to inflate them back up? Manually? That’s because the central tire inflation system is probably disconnected, at least thats what I’ve learned from DeMuro’s columns

Actually I’m not the one that came up with that. I saw it in the comparison between the GLE 63 and the X6M by Motortrend.

This:

This car has seen things... terrible, terrible things...

I was expecting to see “Free Candy” on the side. I’m disappointed.

Every single car on the road polutes more than the certificated values. That’s because lab testing is completely different from real world driving (unless you drive really carefully in a completely flat road).

So basically it’s a flattened XC90?

I think Rockstar should do what they know and stay away from cars. I mean I love Grand Theft Auto games but clearly tuning cars is not for them

Well but at least you can buy an R8 (if you can afford one) and drive it in the street while with this Renault all you can do is hope that they sell it as an Alpine. Even then it’ll probably be pretty expensive and if you live in the US you’ll probably have to wait 25 years to import one (unless Alpine makes it into…

This is how you do it:

Exactly. I hate when manufacturers come up with amazing prototypes and then toss the design in the trash and instead launch a new SUV (which is probably the 5th one on their line up).

Who whould guess that an Audi R8 looks better with a Renault badge?

Soon available as DLC for Need for Speed

I did some research and found that these tires have and efficiency rating of “C” (the best is “A” obviously), which is surprising since these tires were chosen based on their low rolling resistance.

It had the 155/70 R19 Ecopia EP500’s all around.
