I hate the piano black interior trim on my car and I'm not sure why Mercedes would use it since it isn't a premium material. The fingerprints are annoying but the biggest problem is sun reflecting into my eyes off the trim. I would guess potential s class buyers would feel the same way. 

Wow, I’ve seen some REALLY stupid comments today but you might win the award for the dumbest. Congratulations.

Hot take of the day:

Correct, but that’s due to social distancing, not because we’re beating the virus. The moment we relax lockdown measures we’re back to square one. The reality is that if we see F1 by October, it’ll need to be behind closed doors and the practicality of that is questionable given how many personnel are involved in the…

I’m betting on some sort of insurance fraud. Car rentals have tanked with the virus and these companies aren’t getting any kind of bailout. I know some car companies are self-insured, so I’m curious if the ones lost in the blaze fall under that umbrella or not.

I feel like you can do better, but this car is still just an automatic NP for me at anything under 30k. Irrational, but true.

I disagree. The rendering looks like a mustang rear end hastily photoshopped onto a c8 with the windscreen pushed back. The C7 looks much better than that render.  That said, I adore the C8 body. 

That is, for those wonder, one fucking percent of the entire US population filing an unemployment claim. The GOP is living is a goddamn fantasy world on getting things “back to normal.” 

Oh, yeah, this is just the first week, and some states are slower to implement lockdowns than others. “Brutal” doesn’t begin to capture how awful this is going to be.

Considering some 27million people work in the service industry who are not allowed to work, this will only go higher. Plus the small business owners who are still expected to pay taxes, rent, and loans (among others), there likely won’t be any work to come back to if we get though this. Yay!

Neutral. I will not be buying a new car in the next few years. I just don’t need one, frankly. Not a new daily driver in any case; I might pick up an oddball classic to have fun with or wrench on, but that is not going to help the dealers. And I don’t care; the dealers have trashed their own business model, and the…

You know what’s more astonishing than an 80% dive?

And the players don’t profit off of it as much as the billionaires do. 

The only socialism politically acceptable in the US are for corporations and the wealthy.

Frankly I won’t get a fucking nickel out of any of this and I am A-OK with that. I want everybody to be in the position where they don’t need a government bailout, and the downstream effects of mass evictions, bankruptcies, and repos would be SO much worse for the economy, massive numbers of deaths or not.

I genuinely feel this is almost a battle for the metaphorical ‘soul’ of the country playing out. Will we protect corporations under the guise it will flood down to protect the population, or protect the population under the guise it will balloon up and protect corporations?  And all of this under the already heated…

My father in law had this model Tiquan. He loved the thing. He took it in for a service and they mentioned this recall. He gave them permission to fix it. When they were driving it into the shop for the fix the tensioner gave out destroying it.
