Correction: ”Notice how that has nothing to do with BEING able to speak English or not.”

Notice how that has nothing to do with able to speak English or not. The problem is overpopulation and suburban sprawl. After seven years in sprawl hell Phoenix, they can have it. However its driver problem is due to too many drivers in one area (again, sprawl). Testing should occur regularly but that, again, has squat to with language.

And literally none of that is predicated on one’s ability to understand English. And feel free to look up California if you think there wouldn’t be economic repercussions for what you’re suggesting.

Literally every drivers Ed handbook points to signs as being designed to be understood regardless of writing (like the color red means stop and yellow means caution). No offense but I’m not going to indulge this further because every country does this with their road signage and for mostly the same reasons. The line is drawn with every drivers license test. If the pass the test, they get the license. Again, a lot of your complaints as just as common with American drivers as they are for non-English speaking drivers.

Some faulty logic there as signs on the road are mostly pictographs so that English is not an issue. The issue of non-english speaking drivers has more to do with the driving habits of their homelands (one drive to Tijuana back in '93 taught me this lol). There are folks who speak supposedly perfect English that can't drive for $h!. Your remark about Law, Medical, and Fire is faulty as well because there could be non-english speaking passengers (even if the driver speaks English) that may need to speak to them yet you're not calling for that to be gone. What if said driver died and you only have non-english speaking passengers to communicate with? I get your core point but it A.) will never happen and B.) will cripple the economy since there are millions of non-english speaking folks who and WORK and now you are saying they should not be able to drive to their jobs because of their lack of English speaking. Sorry but that does not fly, legally or morally.

Great idea but that Sierra front end on what would be a Canyon does not work at all IMO. Makes an otherwise nice concept render look tacky.

An early Christmas gift and newest addition to the vinyl collection, Tool "Fear Inoculum". 90 minutes of Danny Carey percussion godliness.

Giving me old vibe flashbacks of my '89 MR2 (circa 2000-01), non-supercharged though.

As a four time former Toyota owner (including one on your "list"), please do not lump me in there with those idiots. I got a speeding ticket in an '81 Chevette as a teenager and my foot has not lighten its load, so to speak lol. I don't get rude with the slowpokes. I just get around them, turn signal and all and with my headlights on.

Same with Accords around where I live. Driven by the same folks who have to check their blinker fluid once a week, I surmise.

From a van page I follow on Facebook. Simply gorgeous paint job!

An idea that I support and what I've been alluding to in regards to a hybrid model. Keep a few models on the property because having something tangible and hands on is an absolute must to most buyers, I believe. They can also keep open a direct sale option for those who prefer the online and pick up only approach. It really wouldn't be that hard, in capable hands of course.

Entirely possible. I would be open to visiting this type of place so long as the gimmicky sales tactics are gone. Too many years at various dealerships have made me wary and distrustful of the current dealership model so anything that leads away from this is a plus IMO.

Yet there are still those who think that companies like Ford and GM won't do a direct sale model lol. This is, at the very least, a hybrid of the dealership and direct sale model. It's coming sooner than some people think. (Ghosts of the AMC Eagle smiling down right now).

"Praise" is a stern word, for sure, but you clearly felt was acceptable until it was pointed out to you that was pretty much garbage. Then it's "Buy another tire" for the "best or nothing" $350K+ Mercedes lol. Again, goalpost moving.

So again... You CANNOT sit here and praise the tire in one post and then go "well, just get another tire" when it is proven that said tire actually worthless for off roading and worthless towards your argument. FFS

Thanks for never disappointing.

In honor of your content need to move the bar...

Which has nothing to do with the concept part of Davids post. Absolutely nothing.

By your logic, Mercedes should not be able to succeed with EVs, since they've never sold one before a few years ago. Keep being proven wrong by Genesis though lol.

And treating all things equal, there is no business case these days for 3 coupes and 3 convertibles and sales data backs this up. (Knocks goalpost down and heads off for some good eatin’)

Umm, the other three articles highlighted only the stock G-Wagen. The one Cherry Picker brought up was the outlier. The bigger point in all the article is that the G-Wagen was not considered the best off-roader. Thanks for playing.

Of course, the bigger message here is about Genesis and not Mercedes fanboys and trolling by the usual suspects. I don't like all the designs here but, overall, I like the aggressive approach to the market shown by them. I do dig the coupe. The profile reminds my of the 1990s BMW M1 (about the only BMW I have liked over the years).

"I'm not trying to be an asshole but..." By all means, make your childish joke while ignoring the OVERALL (and proven) message.

So, just move the bar (yet again) when you get called out on the facts? Got it. This is what you said, "And probably because Mercedes does the best luxury car, best off roader, and hypercar, they hit all the pillars. Notice no mention of "sports cars" or "convertibles" or any mention of "X" brand not having them (which is wrong BTW since, again, Benz competes with GM as a whole and not just Benz and has the other two covered with the Vette and Hummer EV). Either stick to your original statement and admit you may be wrong or saying noting at all (perhaps) but stop moving the bar to try and convince everyone (yet again) that Mercedes is so superior when they are clearly not.
