Most prius drivers here think they drive M3s.. fucking assholes. I don't mind if someone is going slow, as long as it's not in the passing lane.

Most pick-up truck drivers here think they drive M4s with 4000 feet of clearance and can stop on a dime on ice...f*cking dubm@$$es. I don't mind if someone is trying to go 31412412 MPH in a blizzard or during icy conditions...but, if you must kill yourself, can you not do it during rush hour and then, when you do, you don't cause traffic to come to a screeching halt?!??

INterestingly no one buys the 4 door Gran Coupe 6 series around here, a car that actualy looks good.

What is the price diff between CLA and C?
Who cares? As far as I'm concerned, the C class is the entry level Benz. I laugh at people who tell me they have a Benz and then say it's a CLA.

Production mules have.

I bet there are EB Mustangs with 200k on the clock by now.

Ever driven a Prius? The throttle is more of a suggestion than a command for the car to start moving. The engine sounds like a beehive and the electric motor does nothing after 25mph. They literally cannot go any faster than they are. I had a Prius C as a rental once and I had the thing floored and got beaten off the line by a Kia Soul with some chick casually talking on the phone.

Sure. Ever been inside of one? The whole thing screams cheapo. Crap plastics, worse leather, lighter doors, the body kit even looks like it came out of a catalog. Nothing in that car even whispers quality.

There's a reason it's the cheapest Benz. AMG is fast but it's still not to the same standards as anything else in the lineup.

I'm sure they can go that fast but getting there is the adventure.

I think the S is the whole lineup.. either V6 of 5.7. They dropped the SRT.

My CT200h was AMAZING 0-30. Gutless 40-70. But once it got to highway speed, I did 85mph all the time.

Prius drivers in LA are not driving under 80 ever

Except the ones in the 626.


All Toyotas in the 626 have never seen anything above 70.

Well, he was eagerly waiting for the RLX and decided to downgrade to the 335i in the interim.
