  1. Doug needs to take notes

  2. Yeah, beginning of the end for fun here. Performance and more isolation. Not a palpably engaging experience but still better than what they're doing now

  3. It's definitely easy to appreciate the design of these as a package and the seemingly brilliant design of the classic boxer engine: Until you realize that they kept producing the engines with ridiculous design flaws without giving a shit.

  4. It may look nice now, but the southern Appalachian mountains are far better condition roads and it's accessible all year

  5. Wait for the new engine.

  6. Would look much more elegant with something like simple 5-spoke wheels

  7. May be able to afford it until you inevitably have to buy a part from their dealers

  8. I'd make some compromises and go with an LX. Maybe use the rest for a 911 or an airplane like the other guy said

  9. I... really just can't imagine a desire to spend money for exhaust mods on a V6 Wrangler

  10. These cars have always had an inflated MSRP because their marketing strategy has been anchoring the price high and attracting people with discounts that don't really mean anything
    2
  11. That's what happens when everything is too assisted and disconnected.
    2
  12. Remove the logos and the interior could be from any generic vehicle. Nothing Mustang about it
    2
  13. The building was pretty strong

  14. Good points. We need to encourage people to take time off after high school to figure out what they really want to do. They need to experience what it's like in various careers and industries before pursuing them. The university system has basically indoctrinated the country into thinking everyone needs to take on overwhelming debt to pursue things they don't have experience with

  15. Long legs do become an issue.

  16. If be interested in Subaru if they sold the Levorg here. This is a complete hackjob of the cohesive Levorg design from the middle backwards

  17. The electronics and probably the security system were taken from Volvo. You can see the key fob is similar too.

  18. So hard to find good examples of those

  19. My idea of a vacation certainly wouldn't be LA but San Diego is understandable

  20. A nice luxury car but too synthetic and isolated.

  21. The quality just wasn't there. Even compared to the Germans

  22. Driving a Peel on a public road would give you more anxiety than running into the middle of a busy highway.

  23. The original Q45 had a very aggressive system as well

  24.  @GTfour01  It was made to be a political issue because of corrupt political hacks using subversion in an election year. I'm saying it is objectively not a political issue. Wearing masks is also not a political issue and don't buy into that, either. Plenty of virology education out there: Especially on YouTube.

  25. Yep. Big mistake making everything go through displays. I'd prefer blank plates in place of the tablets sticking out

  26. People always neglect coil springs
    1
  27. Definitely my choice for a used British land yacht

  28. That has little to do with rigidity. Had he been in a 90s Buick or something with very low high speed compression, it would be nearly imperceptible. Could be failing suspension parts and mounts making it worse here

  29. I'm sure these would sell great in the US if they would do local assembly in Alabama or something.

  30. Nice interview.

  31.  @TedwardDrives  Please find an Exige to drive too.

  32. Drive an original Escalade and Navigator too. Though nice ones are rarer than rare now

  33. They were always underrated

  34. Many myths repeated here. It wasn't just because it was cheaper, cost cutting, etc... It was simply because the 220 series wasn't large enough to accommodate the footprint they wanted the Maybach to have. The 220 had very modular substructures (aimed at reducing repair costs to keep insurance costs down, which was another part of competing with cars like the Lexus) in comparison and undoubtedly harder to modify as well.

  35.  @matsujarvinen  Yes, development was over in early '98 before the merger played a part

  36. Quite a biased comment. Plenty of large vehicle projects had such a budget. Do you know what also had a ~billion dollar budget? The original Lexus LS400 development. And it destroyed the W140. It is what forced MB to lower the cost of their full-size segment considerably with the W220, and the cost was more than most think on the W220; getting it closer to the Lexus while using cutting-edge computer systems and materials was very difficult. A record number of patents were filed, far eclipsing the number for the W140. Development was completed prior to the DaimlerChrysler merger. The one major mishap at the time was the formulation of the anti-corrosion solution. The myth was that it was a cost-cutting measure, etc.: It was the opposite. They were trying to gain an advantage and experimenting with novel solutions. They used the wrong one until about 2003 and cars before this varied wildly in rust protection. (Some, but few, of the pre-'03 cars were well-protected because they were dipped in a fresh solution; the problem was that the solution didn't last anywhere close to what they thought before needing replacement).

  37.  @gabrielalexanderpalma6083  As expected, you are a W140 owner. Explains the immense bias. You're justifying your ownership to yourself. Fantastic cars, but they were 150% the price of the W220. And, no, they were never more reliable than the 722.6 transmission and M113 engine combo in the 220. Other aspects about the car (new interior materials used, and corrosion issues included) were definitely inferior as it was designed to be competitive and also more modular for modern safety tests, but the powertrain and drivetrain is the most reliable non-diesel MB product in history.

  38. Yeah, the oversized star is atrocious. Needs to be small and less noticeable.

  39. All you need.

  40. Honestly, how does legal street driving get better than this? I'd prefer an older NA Honda engine, though.

  41. Peak 911 for me. Now you know how it feels and can adjust yours to feel closer

  42.  @lebojay  These drive incredibly well.

  43. As a big fan of retro tech the old LCDs don't bother me the same way the old car phones don't.

  44. You shouldn't be driving if you think this
    1
  45. Unequivocally well? Until recently, maybe

  46. I remember seeing one of these at the Lotus dealer in GA back in the day. Love these. They also had a green one with stripes if I remember correctly.

  47. This thing injects you with TESTOSTERONE. 'Murica. Hope you have each ACR generation on the list to drive.

  48. What a symbolic place to end the video at, haha. Old North Bridge! The side of the bridge the British first took on casualties, though. I think this Brit would win any battle

  49. If you spool the turbo up or heat it up immensely, directly before you intend to shut it off, you're going to want to circulate oil through the turbo for a bit before doing so
    1
  50.  @TedwardDrives  In an ideal world, we'd want to strap a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema with a Sigma art lens to your head! Haha. In all seriousness, though, wouldn't that look fantastic?
