I want to have babies with it lol…,love it!!!

That's smart. Make the regular S-Class relatively traditional for the older buyers and go wild on the AMG. The exterior's a little blobby in spots, but that's nitpicking.

Weight?


If the new C AMG is any indication, well….


Another mistake Lexus made, being afraid of making heavy cars when competitors do it without shame. Bought media is to blame too….

I'm reading "1,157lbs (525kg) increase in curb weight to 5'556lbs"

However I believe that's comparing the SWB. The LWB in the US weight 4,564 lbs in the US, so it's still heavier by a thousand pounds. This weight increase can explain why the performance numbers aren't that much better despite being so much more powerful and torquey.

For reference the S8 weighs 5,302.. which WTF Audi? How'd the S8 get so heavy.

 

[Och]

How is everything getting so heavy, this is absolutely insane.

It's just getting started with EVs

Because now they become tax write offs for business which helps sales.

Expect that weight limit to change when everything starts to suddenly qualify. The G wagen may need to somehow become heavy even by EV standards to qualify in the future.

Also, boy there's been a lot of benz recalls lately, or is it just me?

The ML, GLE and GLE coupe are affected

Mercedez-Benz is recalling over 320,000 examples of the ML, GLE, and GLE Coupe built from 2012 to 2020 because water can damage the fuel pump control unit.
