i really want to like mercedes... even thinking of buying
a car soon (gasp, NYC dweller with a car!!!) ... but
when looking at the daimler models, i just don't see too
much performance. they are all overweight non-driver
vehicles. despite the yutzes behind the wheel of BMW's,
at least you can say that the BMW is a true driver's vehicle
(with the exception of the new 6 series, another overweight
veinervagon)
Yeah, I'm not too into the newer Mercedes - nor could I dream of being able to buy one... But I really like the mid eighties to mid ninty years of them. Solid some were fast, some were not... I have a 300ce that is fairly quick and yet very comfy and gets 30 mpg on the f-way.
if i can get over the image of BMW ownership, the 3 series
seems like a good car.
I agree totally. And the image part is tough. There was a lot of "attitude" at that BMW thing I went to!
On all fronts, Audi seems to trump them all. S4 or RS4
(for the rich folk), with quattro and good performance
is my driver's vote and A8L W12 seems like a better luxury
automobile for the super luxo crowd too. is the jury
out on the A5? performance coupe or overweight luxo sport
in the footsteps of the BMW M6? I think that the Europeons
would agree, Audi is the real winner here.
Yep, I think you are right.
