@threeer02 Ай бұрын

Nah…”luxury” now means how many screens and buried features you can stuff into a car…

@ExilSvensk Ай бұрын

The same happened as with quality on general. Especially with Mercedes. They used to be cars that were reliable and could be driven for ages. They took pride in being able to build a solid car. They still had buyers of new models. These days they build low quality stuff, doesn't last etc. There's no point in buying a new mercedes, bmw or audi, they are made to be leased. You lease it, don't worry if something breaks. Then some sucker buys it as used and gets to deal with the costs involved. Which is ironic considering the ultra green mindset of Germany these days. These are made to be single use, like Tesla etc. The green revolution has created more throw away stuff than ever existed. It is the same with powertools etc. It's all about make them last just long enough and sell them more stuff.

When multiple types of power plants became normal, just putting the displacement doesn't help identify it in the range anymore. a 2.0T can have more power than a 3.0 NA, also how you classify a hybrid, or an EV with no cylinders. They needed at some point to switch the numbers to be relative performance numbers rather than just displacement.

What happens in 15 years when the screen breaks and there aren’t any screens available because Mercedes quit making them?

@theodoremarakas9899 Ай бұрын

You do NOT want to own anything like this after 5-6 years of ownership. I cannot imagine how much these silly screens cost. I replaced my radio screen and sound control module on my 2015 VW sportwagen and under warranty the dealer charged $2k. There’s absolutely NOTHING fancy about it. To replace those screens you’ll probably need a mortgage or break in to the IS treasury printing money building

Hey Doug. This is probably my 500th review video I've watched. Thank you. Would it be possible to reverse in the car while showing the backup camera? You show how everything functions, never the backup cam. Some backup cameras may have some interesting quirks. Thanks again.

sry but this interior is so far beyond any other e-class in terms of quality it is crazy. (yes i saw and more important felt it) for a german that is more then unnaceptable, sadly they dont care about the german market at all anymore. they even dare to demand such crazy prices for it, unbelievable. coming from a german that is a e-class fan for decades.

Hey bro, I really appreciate your videos and reviews, but I think you should also cover the interior sound (speakers, sound tech. etc.) 🎶🎵 situation , especially in these luxury cars where the manufacturer thinks he understands the needs of every client while they are actually utterly failing at it. Just a friendly suggestion, it would help people a lot to know about a "detail" like that :D Keep up the good work man 🍻

The interior of this car is so emotionless it’s crazy. A slab of glass, full of fingerprints. That’s it, that’s luxury? No, it’s the most distant thing from luxury to ever exist. Cars used to have analog clocks in the center of dashboard, proudly displayed, and now in their place a useless selfie camera that will NEVER be used for Zoom calls, let’s be serious. It’s crazy to me that the most prominent thing on the dash is a selfie camera, just goes to show the target of this “new luxury”: influencers wannabes who will feel so cool to take a selfie with their mercedes. And as the cost of production decreases, by removing every button and every fine material, replaced by glossy plastic… the prices are skyrocketing.
