Like mercedes vehicles in general, there are many many better choices for more power, greater reliability and less inflated cost. AMG motors are money pits.

^ I believe that's a Dethtrapp 2000.

NSX is fine as is. Of course products such as the RDX and the MDX will have to provide the necessary cash to maintain and fund the NSX.

Went in to get some coffee last night. Walked out a little later. WTH! Saw this: Mostly stock, I guess. Not sure about the steering wheel and the gear shift handle. Didn't want to poke my head inside the window too much, but it had manual windows and no A/C. Think of unleashing 396 cubes of a pre-1970 EPA regulated emissions controls engine. That's a lot of horsepower. Kudos to its owner for his (her) immaculate upkeep of this 52 year old (1968) Camaro.

It's the sexy Renault Twizy EV, the future of personal transport *chokes on own vomit*

@smk4565 Dont feel bad... Even the Camaro got LS swapped. OH WAIT....

I am soooo wrong. The few that are left, all have been LS swapped... https://www.streetmusclemag.com/features/car-features/sophistication-meet-power-the-ls1-swapped-benz-vette/ https://engineswapdepot.com/?p=2146 https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15342583/pagoda-style-meets-corvette-power-in-mysterious-1965-mercedes-benz-230sl/ https://bringatrailer.com/2015/08/20/ls-swapped-euro-1984-mercedes-benz-280sl/ This one has been 2JayZe-ed LOL http://www.speedhunters.com/2015/12/500sl-like-youve-never-seen-heard/ This link here...is VERY VERY telling. It has MULTIPLE stories of M-B SL swaps... https://engineswapdepot.com/?cat=527 The next one is an LS 6.0 liter swap from a Chevy 2500HD Pick-up... FROM A CHEVY PICK-UP TRUCK... This one has a phoquing NISSAN 3.1 liter 6... How phoquing pathetic is THAT for Mercedes' pride and joy to have a phoquing Nissan 3.1 liter 6 swap?

This could be a sighting, but it's also something I saw quite a while back when I was across the pond, did not and do not know what it is, and found odd

There is virtually NO SL Mercedes cars on the road from 35 years ago. The few there are left, are garage queens. The ones that are not...were scrapped a loooong time ago. Corvettes are the ones to be still on the road. In any condition, you will find them. Why? Because they run. They run forever. Cut that shyte out! Mercedes cars are NOT built to last. The W123 was. The E Class replacements were. Because TAXI service. But the others are junk! I really dont get this idea where you think Mercedes cars are built to last? I dont even think the G-wagon is built to last... All BOUTIQUE marques. Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bugatti, McLaren, Porsche... THAT IS ALL THEY DO, Is SPORTS CARS. Are you really serious when you are talking to me. Or are you trolling me? Seriously... Ford, Honda (because anywere else in the world other than the US and possibly the Emirates now, Acuras are just Hondas...) Toyota/Lexus are FULL LINE regular folk marques... But... A Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 at that time, and its still a top Nurburgring lap champ, was faster than Porsche GT2 RS. A very dedicated track car on its home turf, and the Camaro ZL1 1LE kicked its ass... Yeah...I know...Porsche brought out better track cars. OF COURSE THEY DID! THEY GOT EMBARRASSED THAT A LOWLY CHEVY KICKED ITS ASS ON ITS HOME TURF... A MAKER OF PIG SUVS AND MUSCLE CARS THAT CANT TURN KICKED PORSCHE"S ASS ON ITS HOME TURF TRACK. THE VAUNTED 'RING!!! NOT EVEN THE CORVETTE> THE CAMARO OF ALL THINGS!!! A PORKY MUSCLE CAR CAMARO KICKED PORSCHE 911GT2 RS TRACK ORIENTED SUPERCAR'S ASS ON THE RING... https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/a10206481/the-chevrolet-camaro-zl1-1le-blitzed-the-nurburgring-in-71604/ Remember...THAT is ALL Porsche does... Is do track cars, especially track cars focused to track on the 'Ring... Its a BOUTIQUE manufacturer that ONLY makes sports cars... Well...now they have become SUV makers. But that discussion is for another day... http://www.autoextremist.com/current/?currentPage=2 I wouldnt want Chevy to ONLY concentrate on sport cars if I were you. Chevy would make you cry...

Electric van makes a lot of sense because most delivery vans, especially in urban areas aren't doing a ton of miles per day. Also for things like contractors, plumbers, electricians, etc that don't put a lot of miles per day on a van. Plus with a van you can stick batteries in the floor easily, from a packaging standpoint is is easy on design. From a maintenance standpoint, an EV needs less maintenance and thus less downtime for what is a work or delivery vehicle.

I worked at a Chevy-Pontiac-GMC-Oldsmobile-Buick-Cadillac dealership for 10 years.

And yet there are so many left on the road after 35 years.
