Probably builds them a lot better than the folks at GM do with their hands.

Actually, you’re as cheap as I am (according to family). I kept the last two family cars 13 and 15 years. Wall St. and manufacturing companies in general need to accept a throw away and replace consumerist economy is not sustainable, in any sense. They can’t rely on the numbers from the past. Things are different now.

Ian Flemming would approve.

John Steed would be proud.

Petrolicious is a fantastic channel that deserves more attention. Worth watching them on the best screen you have.

Petrolicious makes all the best car vids.

Pretty good review, Alanis. I can’t give you 5 stars because you failed to mention the cost of complexity, which is especially relevant in this Benz. Having owned an E-Class, I know the warranty will fix anything that breaks. But, that doesn’t help much when you’re spending your own time schlepping the car in and out…

Symmetrical please!

Great column/video, Doug, but I would’ve preferred if it’d ended with your crashing into a curb/crowd/both at the end anyway.

Who takes the whole family just to pick up some take out?

I think the pinnacle of BMW “timeless” design is late model E38's...

Asian woman driver...just a normal day

Crashed your 1 of 1 special edition Ferrari? Have no fear, have Ferrari make you another 1 of 1 special edition! Don’t repair, repair is for poor people.

Back in the ‘50s when you pulled into a service station, two or more uniformed attendants would descend on your car, gas you up, check your oil and put air in your tires. I remember it vividly.

I’ll bet this is still narrower than a 70's Eldorado.
