Honestly that Civic was pretty damn cool when it came out (if you were a high schooler that is).

Their electric lineup is very meh, but Mercedes isn't dropping the ball where it truly counts. The upcoming coupes from the three pointed star don't come without their own set of issues (e.g. capacitive touch screens, bloated weight, re-adding B-pillar) but the CLE and AMG GT look absolutely fantastic. I sincerely hope BMW does not destroy the future model Z4 and 8 Series by giving it the pig snout treatment.

2024 AMG GT





2024 CLE

It's more shocking that someone would buy such a product!

MB aesthetics for me are near the top. Reliability sinks the deal, however. I generally buy and hold vehicles, so an engine with scored cylinders or a hybrid system with an expensive and potentially unsupported battery replacement in mid-life are no-gos for me.

The new SL and GT look great. Hopefully they have above-average reliability for MB, which would put those cars in the lower third of industry reliability.

Personally I think the maw on that GT is terrible. Like a hooked fish. I can see the overall appeal of the car though.

Cannot stand the squared off steering wheel, although it can be swapped.

And why BMW INSISTS on sending non ordered ones out with light interior colors I do not know.

I would have been tempted a time or two. Except for an easily stained interior.
