My Dad won't drive anything but a Benz :heh: he got legit heated when he brought his new one to the crib and I was just like :ld: I'm happy with my Jeep and Chally. I was seriously considering the new Hummer but decided against it. I said if I get a luxury car it's gonna be an Audi, if not then I'll just keep waiting until something comes along that gives me that wow factor.

Maintenance is a literal arm and a leg...:francis: only a select few engine models are bulletproof... they are designed to break down so you can buy replacement parts from them. They not Lexus/toyota reliable is not synonymous with their name

I was gonna say AMG is the exception. AMG might as well be it's own brand lmao
I can agree to that. I still have my 2012 E350. Its a solid car, but the AMG line is just different. Anytime I see a non AMG I am like aww that's cute. But the reality is most people don't need an AMG. reguglar mercedes are just fine for the average person.

This is true. My annual maintenence this year was 1200, new tires are about 1000 each. My front differential had to be replaced and if it wasn't under warrenty it would have been 6k. You have to stay on top of maintence with them other wise you are screwed.

if I do purchase another Mercedes it’ll be the one with the least amount of plastic. They slummed the brand by overcommitting to the EQS and when they didn’t sell they flooded all the other trims with its components.

They need to do like Nike and release retro’s bodies with electric motors if they want to compete With the Chinese. A W140 with monoblocks and a Lorinser body kit would be purchased expeditiously.

AMG is garbage too. Lil ass 4 cylinder turbo engines. Public percetion of the C63 fell flat on its face. AMG was about brutal performance in a tuxedo. There's the S class, but I never liked it because it's not a driver's car. Honestly S class you get chauffeured in


Bring back the M156 or the M157 engine
