Not trying to start an argument, but thought it was interesting article that may show future of some cars.
I'm sure M-B is paying close attention to this for both the cars and getting them serviced by dealerships rather than DIY.

This is true in all of Pop Culture really. The younger generations dictate style by a long-shot. Even Music, Movies, etc. to extents. I remember when I was a kid, "grownups" had some confidence to it, i.e they listened to grown up music, wore grown up clothes, etc. Now in our "Cougar" generation, everybody wants to act and feel as if they're 25 years old, all the time, so you have a constant mid-life crisis amongst so many adults. It's pretty hilarious.
