Its awful, it represents everything wrong with the current Mercedes line up and its ****ty products. The brand has lost its way. I am proud to say I own a W 204 C 63 AMG. I would never be proud of owning this awful 4 cylinder jokes.

I hope it flops miserably so Mercedes learns that we don't want stupid screens, stupid gimmicks, the stupid TikTok integration (WTF), we want V8 cars with awesome build quality, with the usual Mercedes smell, and refinement. Not some overpriced joke. To make matters worse, Mercedes even screwed up their build quality, the W206 feels 2 cuts below the W205/W204 in build quality. Such a shame.

Why are you going and posting this same thing everywhere? Let it go man jesus.

Watch collecting taught me that more expensive things aren't always better and that newer isn't always better.

it's a bit different though, cheap quartz watch might be more accurate than Patek, but you buy craftsmanship, history, rarity and value retention.

and a rolex submariner gmt or daytona will beat out almost any patek and audemars while keeping much better time under real world hard use.

You know how AMG technician builds an engine? Rolex uses machines for most of its watch assembly, AP and Patek use much less. Rolex is more robust, AP is more jewelry-like and Patek has best complications.
Also Rolex produces many many more watches.
Ok enough about watches otherwise they'll shut the thread down.
