You describing tire size, type, and turning radius just earned you a sub. That is very handy to know; those Continentals are nice(although not on tire rack and not all seasons?) but if I drop down to 20's I can get Pirelli Cinturato Weatheractives and those(plus tires like the Michelin Cross Climate 2's) are probably the best all around tires ever made. Which is really exciting; it is so frustrating when nice cars are hampered by terrible wheel size choices on the part of the manufacturer.

@7477238 2 ай бұрын

The tech is what will date these cars quickly. Vehicles that had more "traditional" interiors where there were buttons mixed in with a screen were far better. Part of an MB's charm is how well they age. I doubt these new ones will age like the Benzes from the 80s to 00s with their timeless styling both exterior and interior.

@JStryker7 2 ай бұрын

Ya they will age horribly. Unfortunately it benefits the manufacturers in multiple way. Adding screens instead is cheaper and they allow their cars to be dated faster forcing people to buy new ones

It doesn't make sense to me. New C43 AMG is a 2.0l 4 cilinder and the E450 is a inline 6. First gen C43 was a V6 3.0l and the E450 was also a V6 3.0l (basically the same car). They should have put the new inline 6 in the new C43 AMG. Sales would skyrocket.

Commenting because you asked. I personally prefer the W213 over this generation. Now you might think I'm saying that because we tend to like what's old just like how many people said the W212 was better than the W213 when that was new. However, I think the pre-facelift W213 is much better and elegant looking than this. The interior and exterior just spoke volume and elegance. This just looks like a combination of metal, wires and rubber that's given an unnecessary touch of aggression and youthfulness. Maybe that's just me. The W212 or the W213 was never like this (Until the W213 facelift/redesign). That's also why I still prefer the W222 S class over the current gen. I love the cars and their technology, I'm just a true believer that old is always gold. I think with the major shift towards screens, many cars lost their "luxury" feel. I personally enjoy the feeling of being able to adjust your climate and turn your heated seats on and off without looking. Just memorize the button locations and the rest is history. That's my bit. Keep up the great work my friend. Recently discovered the channel a few weeks ago and have been loving every video so far.

The exhaust tail pipes are turned down towards the road surface, which allegedly improves gas flow through the exhaust system. Consequently there was no need for real exhaust trims on the lower bumper, unfortunately Mercedes went ahead and installed obviously fake exhaust exit trims anyway….. shame

It's a little less lux than it used to be in terms of the interior. The 2020 version, don't know the W number, had more wood in it and less ambient lights. I'm not a fan of the ambient lights and think Mercedes is overdoing it. There's no wood on the doors on this model. I don't love the hyperscreen either, would rather have wood panels. Also, on the exterior, what's with all the small Mercedes stars and star shaped lights. They look tacky IMO. So maybe the car is a little smoother and quieter but I think it's lost some richness to it.
