Best in class interiors!
However, Mercedes-Benz has been making tremendous strides recently. The newest generation of MBs are just beautiful!
Got a tip for us?

Which seats do you have? I have these in my S7 and they're unbelievably comfortable.Thanks
They are and they have done a great job on the interior on this too. The seats are stunning, prob my fave bit about it
I think the only thing that could use some work right now is how they integrate the screens. Although I have gotten use to seeing them that way so it has grown on me a bit. Other than that they look great.
Ooh cars. My recent hobby
Got this S5 recently and now made it into a wolf in sheep clothing
Love the S5. I want those wheels for my Golf R
A Merc is a pile of garbage? You really don't know anything about cars, do you?
Love me some good seats (which I think we discussed recently). Just changes the whole character of the car and driving experience. Years ago I swapped out seats in my Z06 and it was like I bought a whole new car, just amazing how it transformed it (the OEM seats were just a step up from sitting on wooden crates...)
A $85k Merc will lose $60.2K in value in under 10 years. They cost a fortune to fix and have computer driving every single part of the car all of which fail and cost THOUSANDS to replace.
Appearance wise they are amazing, electronically and mechanically, however,..... total garbage
Look at that garbage interior ;-)
Can't believe you posted up that POS! It doesn't compare to a Daewoo at all! Blasphemy!

I agree. The tacked on iPad tablet thing isn't the greatest. They should integrate the screen, like they do for the S Class coupe and sedan.
My mate has a 2012 C63 AMG and he loves it too bits. I love driving it but it's been in the garage since he has owned it so many times he is losing patients with it. Nearly once a month it's in and no, that's not an exaggeration I'm afraid
can any of you tell me the Lumans of a 34 Watt halogen fog light bulb is vs a 50W 750LM LED fog light bulb? From what I have read its rather easy to convert the standard 34 watt (useless) fog light bulbs to vary powerful and bright 50W Bulbs by putting in a 15A fuse into the circuit and snipping the ground wire and put it to chassis ground so the bulbs don't case the high beams to dim.
EDIT: CORRECTION, 7W 750LM LED BULB VS 34W HALOGEN BULB

They are a feat of engineering. Just because joe mechanic can't fix it, doesn't make it garbage
Every car loses most of it's value in ten years.

What car doesn't lose almost all of its value in 10 years?
Not to mention, these are high-dollar luxury cars. Depreciation is expected. For the average Mercedes-Benz customer, it's just the "cost" of having a nice car. No reason to complain and call them "garbage"
If you really want to talk about garbage, I could refer you to a certain Daewoo with malfunctioning brakes.
I should rephrase. Not garbage. Just Money Pits after only 8 years they throw 25+ DLC codes
Edit: each computer is over $1700 and ONE shock on the car is over ONE THOUSAND dollars! and takes 2.5 hrs to change ONE. 5 hrs to change 2
I hesitated to post this here, but thought I would anyway.
I've mentioned several times that my mom bought a new 2014 LaCrosse back in February. She's loved it, although so far has only managed to put a little over 3000 miles on it.
Last Wednesday, she and my dad were out on the road and had a cargo van run a red light and plow into them. Fortunately, they were both fine, although my mom is nearly sick over the car.
The airbags didn't deploy, although it messed up the driver side front quarter pretty badly and looks to have broken the front drive shaft and likely some other front suspension parts. As is probably plenty obvious from the photos, the car was undriveable.
Here's a not-so-great picture. The body shop was closed today when I stopped by to look, so this was taken through the chain link fence at the back.

That's tough, man. I'm glad everyone is okay. Car did its job, which is the most important thing.
Yep, that's by far the most important takeaway.
Just tell your Mom that will totally buff out

Yes, indeed-the fact that both were fine and completely uninjured(other than my dad banging his knee on the center console) is by far and away the most important thing.
The damage also is not as bad as I had anticipated. When she described it to me over the phone, I was picturing complete and total carnage of the front end, but I honestly don't think it's that bad. I think it will buff out fine
Why do you want to blind oncoming drivers?
What you're trying to do with your headlights should be illegal. In fact, maybe it already is.
