S-Class is best in its class. 5- and 3-Series are best in their class. The A3 is best in its class.

They shouldn't, because, the X5 *is* the X7. It's a motherfucking behemoth and has 3 rows. Shit idea to make anything bigger.

The Active Tourer, save for its disgusting nose and Honda FR-V copycat business, I could stomach.

An SRT8 version that's cheaper and just as powerful could make the V10 what the 65AMGs are - an old keepsake from old times, occasionally even bought.

I get offended easy by swaps. LSx into 911s or Subie engines into 911s are a BIG no-no for me.

This is a Honda FR-V.

behold the historical precedent to the Audi A1

I don't think it will, really, as most manufacturers give you a choice of like 2 or 3 sat navs of varying size, functionality, and (atrocious, at any rate) price.

There is no fucking way Ferrari isn't going to make a Urus to the Levante's Cayenne, not in this (SUV-crazed) economy.

Stop saying Teutonic and Gallic in car speak. Forever.

Yet, the CLA45 is a popular performance car these days.

What about over a CLA250, about the same price with options too, front wheel drive...

C5s looked amazing but were typical 90s US inside, meaning they were the V8-engined, sports car-version of my uncle's Ford Windstar. Same goes for the Shtang (moreso because of the brand association).

A sort of Aston Virage move (tweak drivetrain, facelift, hope people believe it's a new model). Not a cutting edge engineering move, a broke British high-end company move.

Back looks good, overall shape looks good in that it's an honest FWD shape like a Golf or a V40, sleek modern FWD car.

The old one was disgusting, and I would literally rather have a Maser GT if I were given the choice it vs the Cali for free, disregarding the price and power difference.

I like how they give you the choice of luxurious and elegant, and sport packagey looks.

The CLA is a scam. The A-Class is an honest, well-proportioned, pretty compact car.

To be honest Beats are also a fashion accessory. All those better and cheaper ones look a bit sub-par, wouldn't go with outfits.
