Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Beautiful car and from what I know the NA AMG V8 is extremely solid as is the 5-speed automatic. If you've got the stomach for expensive maintenance and probably some electrical and suspension glitches, it's a awesome car for Corolla money.

I dipped my toe into German engineering with a 07 E550 in 2011 when it had 60k on the clock. It was a great car until it wasn't. I cut my losses when I traded it for a new Ram pickup truck. I don't regret the experience, but I won't buy another German car.

Tassos If I were actually successful (UNLIKE MY DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR CLAIMING TO BE A WARSAW VIP), I’d be stepping up to buy one of these. I’ll continue to be a low-value contributor claiming that driving two diesel e-classes in two different low cost of living areas is somehow a respectable existence
Akear GM, what a disgrace. You know what I mean.
Carquestions The plan is to turn the car into a driveable cell phone, sell the customer on subscriptions and save on hardware like engines with software changes you charge extra for. What's not to love about this master plan? They've all gone mad over this. Well, just like a cell phone, most people will only buy a few apps, aftermarket software will pop up to give you that Nav system or more horsepower for pennies, people will buy based on price and battery time and the whole thing will be outdated in four years. Since cell phones range in price from $90 to $3000 are easy to make and make anywhere. People need cheap transportation so The $90 phone wins the day. The automakers are talking revolutionary changes but fail to understand technology is evolutionarily. Automakers like Stellantis have signed their own death certificates with this kind of thinking.
Sobhuza Trooper Is this or the 4Runner the competition to Wrangler/Bronco?Neither of which has a take the doors/roof off and fold down the windshield option.
