    Loving my new head unit with google maps. Be it standard or satellite maps, this is the standard all auto companies should offer. Even audio texting is great. Should have upgraded earlier than this. Worth the money.

    Maybe trying to give you some sunshine during heavy snow days? ?

    I would take that Euro NCAP testing with a Grain of salt. This from the same agencies that for years did not test properly to see if cheating software was being used in Diesel auto's, Acid rain that is destroying forests all across Europe and only got caught as the US market was questioning the results they got and decided to have 3rd party Universities look in to suspect results and BOOM, all blows up to billions of dollars of fines for them. What else is MB hiding in these Toyota / Chevrolet equal FWD appliances that MB sells? ??

    How does things like this get through manufacturing and not noticed that a lube point is not being lubed.Pathetic.

    Agree that GM should have continued to make and branch out with the Supercharged and Turbo charged SS engines. No, I do not see it as trolling but stating the obvious that @smk4565 continues to ignore. MB is no longer and has not been for the last couple of Decades a Luxury only auto company. With the amount of Taxis they produce and sell on the E platform which is all hard plastic city to the FWD A-Class. MB which was originally seen only as a luxury auto company has changed to be a global cheap to ubber luxury auto company and as such being compared to Toyota, Chevrolet, Hyundia, etc. is to be expected and warranted.

    Just accept that Mercedes is NOT a Luxury auto only company, but have changed into the Toyota/GM/ just about any other auto company with making cheap to expensive auto's that cover a wide range of income categories. You cannot be a luxury auto maker only when you are making JCPenny's priced products too.

    Yet this kind of testing would allow us to learn on how to build denser battery packs and create more efficient controllers, motors and figure out how to use capacitors that are in the super category to achieve this maybe from regen into the super capacitor to help maintain the high speed.

    https://www.amazon.com/Steelcase-Chair-Black-Fabric-FBA_46216179/dp/B00GBUPUOY/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=steelcase+leap+chair+black&qid=1568341736&sr=8-2 This is the specific chair, based on the model number and I had no idea they had become this expensive. I thought it was crazy when I paid $600 for the two in 2007, they are now almost $1000 apiece. ?

    Stolen then? Sad when a nice auto gets munched.

    Have a couple of Steelcase Ergo chairs, very comfy. Had them since 2007. Love all the adjustments to get just the right comfort.

    I feel that you would pick this up and slam that nose onto a tough piece of beef to tenderize it.

    54 Rocks! your in your mid life stretch!

    Like the interior and suicide doors, be interesting to see final production of one.

    HELLO MB, Are you STUPID or What? Main crowd wants electric that blends in, not stands out and this would appear to be a lets make it looks weird and stand out so we do not sell any as we want to be the pollution auto of the 21st century! This tells me MB is not as serious about electrics as others. Again, so much for the Best or nothing, NOTHING it is!
  15. G. David Felt
    Totally agree with that, I have a nice chair my company got me as I was wearing out a chair a year due to my size, they got me a David Size chair and it is so comfy and has been solid with me for 3 years now. Love the color and what looks to be a very comfy chair plus HELL YEA to the Cooling and heating part of the chair! Sadly, they will not hear from me as I do not Tweet!, Useless tool that I will not bother setting up since I really do not want another account to manage.

    Odd random 1990 Mazda Eunos Cosmo 2 door coupe. https://jalopnik.com/?jwsource=em

    Seems while Europe gets the smaller ID4, the US will get a bigger ID4 as the first of the EV's to be built in Chattanooga, a total of 3 EVs within the next 18 months and according to the current leadership, VW is to be a global all EV leading auto company and within 10 years EVs only in Europe and China markets. https://www.autonews.com/frankfurt-auto-show/vws-ev-crossover-us-will-be-called-id4

    Sharp looking 2 door coupe that will please those looking for such a small car. Price is actually not bad considering all the $50K compact CUVs out there today.

    Tweaked Tesla P100D spotted in Germany, maybe prepping to attempt a record at Nurburg ring. It has street legal Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires and changed fender bulges for bigger tires along with a changed nose to allow better airflow to brakes, motors and battery. Bigger lip spoiler. Seems if they do beat Porsche time, this would still not be valid as this is a one off car and not production which is what Porsche used to set their record. https://www.autoblog.com/2019/09/11/tesla-model-s-p100d-spied-near-nurburgring/#slide-2168656

    Mercedes Benz took a page from Apple in pointing to the Technology Giants SDK or Software Development Kit that they released and within the first day over 100,000 downloads were done as people started to build aps for their Apple Store. Today MB announced their new SDK available immediately for those that wish to build apps for the MB Auto App Store. https://media.daimler.com/marsMediaSite/en/instance/ko/Mercedes-Benz-Mobile-Software-Development-Kit-Mercedes-Benz-is-one-of-the-first-automotive-manufacturers-to-make-its-own-mobile-Software-Development-Kit-SDK-available-to-developers.xhtml?oid=44399862&ls=L2VuL2luc3RhbmNlL2tvLnhodG1sP29pZD00ODM2MjU4JnJlbElkPTYwODI5JmZyb21PaWQ9NDgzNjI1OCZib3JkZXJzPXRydWUmcmVzdWx0SW5mb1R5cGVJZD00MDYyNiZ2aWV3VHlwZT10aHVtYnM!&rs=0

    Frankfurt Motor show has brought out the big guns of Climate Change zealots that want all consumer trucks and especially SUVs to be banned. Yet the auto industry says that the CUV/SUV/Trucks will actually help drive the change over to EVs due to the ease of various size battery packaging compared to cars. https://ihsmarkit.com/research-analysis/frankfurt-motor-show-2019-climate-change-campaigners.html?itx[idio]=525794340&ito=1038&itq=7a287443-b85a-40e7-b904-8f2019318504

    GM Climate Change Study Report to the EPA which GM has been working on this since 1994. https://archive.epa.gov/epawaste/conserve/smm/wastewise/web/pdf/gm_factsheet.pdf GM's latest update and a rewrite of their carbon neutral goals has them achieving this in the 2020's time frame compared to 20 years later for MB. Seems MB is not the Best or Nothing, more nothing. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/general-motors/2017/06/30/gm-sustainability-goals/103331390/ While Ford has not set Carbon Neutral goals, they did set reductions of 30% and achieved it 8 years early. https://www.autonews.com/article/20180627/OEM/180629827/ford-hits-carbon-emissions-target-8-years-early Here is the current update on GMs sustainability report which shows them making great progress. https://www.gmsustainability.com/manage/products.html

    Exactly, look at all the billions wasted on Alfa, Dead reborn and still pretty much dead while the US brands that financed that BS pet project continue to scrape along.

    There is a guy that for 13yrs has been tuning regular auto's to sound like F1 race cars. While cool skill, not really sure I am a fan of a high pitch sound on a big block motor. https://jalopnik.com/meet-the-quiet-japanese-tuner-who-makes-your-old-merced-1831320490
