I played Gran Turismo. Laguna Seca was a track that you could choose.
I'll just toss in my 2 cents after having currently a Model X and a '18 Benz GLS550. Previous had an '07 Benz GL450 and '18 AMG GT Roadster. The dealer experience from Benz over the last decade plus has not been the shining point of the vehicles. They shmooze and talk the talk leading up to signing the paperwork. They get paid to close the deal. The after delivery of the car experience has been a lackluster at best. They will come get my cars for maintenance appointments and give me a loaner, and then they keep my car for a LONG time, drive it to the movies, drive it home, go pick the kids up from school, not completing service and having to take it back multiple times.
My Tesla Model 3. The car is great but the ownership experience has been abhorrent. Tesla is unresponsive to calls and emails and trying to get a hold of anything for service or support is close to impossible. I leased my Model 3 and have about two years left on it...as it stands now, Tesla has done nothing to keep my business. I'm planning on going back to something German come time to turn it in unless Tesla makes some drastic changes.
This is across all 3 of them. So the false expectation of a hundred thousand dollar car giving some level of extra service is what it is, a false expectation. The year over year service cost and frustrations when those cars would go in for routine service or warranty work is pretty bad.
So far the Model X has gone to the service center twice. One time because I asked them to check something out the 2nd for a repair when someone ran in to me. On the body repair appointment, Tesla practically replaced the entire front of the car in less than a week. Communication throughout the process to keep me up to date after each step.
With Mercedes I had to contact my so-called servicer advisor multiple times and had him directly lie to me twice, I requested a different advisor, same experience in a different package.
I'm not 100% set on what we will get when the GLS550 goes away but it won't be another Mercedes Benz product. Just my 13 years of experience and 3 vehicles with that company for what it's worth.
Love looking at the variety here.
I've been shopping for a replacement for my Corolla iM (absolutely hateful automobile) basically since a month after I took it home. Surprisingly keep lowering the class of cars I'm looking at, just not sure some of the 'luxury' cars are worth it, especially in the sports/performance car category. You tend to get a lot of performance and refinement, but it kills some of the fun of driving a performance car for me. I was real bummed out when I didn't love driving some of the German options, like a Golf R or M340i. Explosively fast, well made, and just not that much fun. Easy to live with though I'm sure.
After trying just about everything, I would love to take home a 228i/230i Coupe 6MT but finding the spec I want is near impossible. Thinking might be fun to take home a BRZ, Mustang, or Veloster N these days as a result.

it certainly was the most interesting to drive of them all. Reminded me of the Miata I had in high school. Only worried I might get bored of the lack of power.
Yes lack of power is the only thing you can be negative regarding the BRZ. But you have turbo/compressor kits to boost power. If they made a 300 hp version it would be ideal.
Range Rover Evoque, r-dynamic s, p250. In Eiger grey.
Love some of the rides in this thread. That blue on the Tesla is gorgeous @BeatCrazy!
My 2019 Audi A5. She's currently pre-mod and feeling a bit naked. She's going to have the front plate swapped for the delete panel, tires will be upgraded to the OEM 19" and eventually powder coated in black, will be deleting the chrome with gloss black and wrapping her head to toe in Nardo Gray. I've been eyeing the S5 for a couple of years since this new body style launched, but the more digging I did I started to find a lot of other buyers that were taking A5's and tuning and modding them to get more custom builds, so that's the goal here as well. I also prefer the more understated interior of the A5's; will be nice to have a 5 that looks killer on the outside, performs just as well as an S, but has a more classy interior. Can't wait to get started on the build.

Yeah, I love the white; it's definitely a sporty yet classy looking ride.
They drive really good those Smarts, I drove for a couple of weeks a first model smart. With sequential gearbox en noise of the three cylinder engine. They are cool cars. In the city of Berlin they park with the nose or the backside at the pavement.
The new Long Range Plus. I commute to work and wanted the benefits of using the HOV lane and saving on gas costs. I like a wider car and storage is great in this car.
