All I can see is a taller version of a Ford Flex. 

And that’s it, we have a bingo.

Because gov’t is vilified unlike any private company, unfortunately

This is logic that only makes sense in government: Spend an inordinate amount of money to re-badge tens of thousands of mail trucks in order to maintain the appearance of being thrifty.

It looks good and hits almost all of the right technical specs, but as a whole it all seems kind of generic.

We’ll change the convo when you guys get your reliability straight. Until then...

Are you new here or something?   This is like bread and butter to most of us.

This may Justy be my opinion, but Mercedes really has abandoned its Legacy.

I’m a millennial and seriously, DAMN YOU CLOUDS! I want physical controls and mechanical gauges in my cars. A screen is fine for navigation and a backup camera, but other than that give me knobs and gauges everywhere.

So true!  There are screens everywhere already, and frankly I’m pretty tired of them.  Especially when they replace something like speedometer and tach.  Everytime I sit in a new car with just one flat screen for the gauges it just looks cheap and lazy.  Plus, screens in cars have lousy blacks, making everything look…

WE NEED MORE ROUNDABOUTS!

Driving myself in the twistys = fun

“(and not a widebody aircraft like a Boeing 7777)“

I’m sure Jean [Lindamood] Jennings will have an interesting take on this.
