Interior is 100x better than any Chrysler I've seen in the last 20 years, even the 300 (granted, that's not saying much!!!!! )
It’s a pity this post by sonoronus came five weeks after me buying a new 300 that turned out to be a lemon of the first degree. What a pile of trouble and rubbish that car was. Built less than 10 miles from my house no less. I stuck it for 7 years before replacing it with a US built Hyundai. No more Big Three cars for me.
If the threatened trade war with the US begins I guess even US built Hyundai cars will be off the list of options.
It’s been nice to know you anyway, but at least the talk of a wall between us a has died down.
In no way should this be taken as a political post, just economic facts.

I feel I'am driving a MB. Engine and trans are MB. Ride is tight and sticks like glue to the road better than MB. Interior layout MB. It's all Benz in my mind. AND what about the styling?? KUDOS to everyone involved.

I'm so with you there.

Meh, just trade negotiations. I don't take it all that seriously.

Your Pres said he could not kill our government reps, he was just going to hurt the people of Canada.
Nice guy, but you knew that already.

Well Merc does make the world's best taxicabs.

Having both: '07 Crossfire Coupe with 6 speed and '01 SLK320 automagic can say that neither seat goes back quite far enough and both take an inordinate amount of Mobil 1 on an oil change. Also have electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems (instead of electric locks it has pneumatic locks which require an electrical pump and rigid lines to actuate). Both have 160 mph speedos (I liked the 85 mph speedos. Below they were easy to read and above I was watching the tach. Neither has a tilt wheel.

Coupe seems faster even though the six speed is really a granny first and a conventional five speed. Do like the Merc's retractable and the coupe's luggage space so a trade. Neither gets very good MPG probably because turning 600 rpm high at 70 in top. Neither gives me much trouble or has failed to start.

For a trip I take the Jeep.
