The AR HUD is not quite as good as Mercedes but better than Porsche and other brands I have tried with the one caveat that they split it into two separate HUD screens which is a little weird and may cause issues for some users. Where the car shines though is the styling, interior design and finishes (especially with the Platinum trim). I feel like I have a luxury car again. Very happy with the switch. I have no doubt this will fare well until others come up with better luxury cars.

What sort of Lease deal did you get? I remember you scored big on up front lease payments on your AMG EQE SUV that you had shipped from Florida.

Currently have no car payments on 2024 Ford or 2025 GRC. Taking a break for a few years, Son returns to GT Monday. I might buy something Premium again in 2027 if return to White Sands Missile Range High Energy Laser R&D.

i follow both you and HBerman plus Wolfman and Superswiss…

And I got more money back at the end of the lease due to the total loss than I paid in the first place because the incentives and tax credits get pro-rated and paid back to me. My EQE AMG lease was $13,000 for 24 months at 7500 miles per year.

This lease was $23,000 for 24 months at 12,000 miles a year. They did offer me a lower trim sport model for $15,000 but I went for the Platinum. I'm traveling less and using my car more these days.
