Disagree. Does the E350 wagon count in the same segment? If so, that is awesome. Also, the Canadians get the E400 cheaper than Americans get the E350.

The best part is that you know those guys will run to mommy crying if you threaten them back.

When I was a kid, I had this obsession with the 300zx twin turbo t top. If you look around, you can find one in the 10-20k range of various condition.

I saw this tonight right outside my office right after reading this article. It’s a failed left LED brake light/lamp cluster on a car delivered 2 months ago.

I think buicks are consistently rated significantly more reliable than BMWs and Audis

With the exception of JLR, Aston and mini (all British Marques) owners, pretty much everyone else sort of expects their cars to work all of the time.

Got a Cybex aton Q. Great seat that fits in the GTI + the merc wagon.

Well, they don’t have them, since they don’t measure them there. America does have the worst among OECD countries; so that’s something to be proud of?

to indict Qatar is to indict the US. We practically have the same Gini coefficient (economic measure of inequality in society).

You can’t even have made-in-USA electronics at any scale anymore. The entirety of manufacturing expertise and craft has been lost in 1 generation here, and it primarily exists in China now.

It’s funny. As a new parent, you see that all the child safety equipment (car seats, etc) are made in China already.

Question: Will this thing have a 25 year service life too?

Front ends of cars are soft structures, vs the rear of cars, which are typically hard structures.

You pulled the euro Passat side profile. The us/China Passat is even more strikingly similar

Needed awd, but I was looking at those too

Good. As for you other bloodsuckers, hit me up in 5-10 years if you want an E350 Sport 4Matic wagon in good condition with low miles.

Except me. I was the idiot that bought a wagon new.

Wait, so should I be for gun control then?

That's the only config for MRs, the super-fast shifting sst transmission.

I would argue the other way. How about a posted minimum speed limit? I see those in asia and Europe all the time.
