Aww maaan, I'm trading in all my cars for a Purosangue in red just like this one, but with matte black trim like the blue one. Then I'm going to drive it to Walmart every single day.

Well that's kind of the whole point of a purple Urus. Otherwise just get an Audi SQ8 with the 4.0L biturbo V8 and save yourself a pile of cash.

I'm not an Audi fan just have to agree with guys in vids above that the Urus needed a V10 and the color palate is straight out of a pack of Skittles.

I dunno, I was thinking there was enough room n the back for fishing gear. So I'm going to need a yacht too I guess. Yeah, maybe I should just buy that 5% certificate of deposit instead... oh well.

Adding HFCVs to Mercedes' selection of cars makes sense as the support for these vehicles grows. Your idea that HFCVs should be added alongside EVs in Mercedes’ worldwide range, instead of replacing them, is a good point.

(1) NVH. The GLS either produces or permits noticeably more "noise, vibration and harshness," into the driving experience, compared to the S-Class. It's clear that more engineering time and/or more development money was spent on the S-Class, in the NVH department.
(2) Interior Materials and Switchgear. The lower door panels that attract permanent scuffs/scratches, the cheaper-looking dash material (even with MB-Tex uppers), the cheap-feeling button release to open the center console, the never comfortable 2nd-row headrests (even with captain's chairs), etc.
Again, I'm not a GLS hater... I really like ours. It's the "E-Class of SUVs," with a 3rd row. The E-Class is a fine car. The GLE/GLS is a fine SUV.
Hope that helps.

Sure. It mainly comes down to two categories:
(1) NVH. The GLS either produces or permits noticeably more "noise, vibration and harshness," into the driving experience, compared to the S-Class. It's clear that more engineering time and/or more development money was spent on the S-Class, in the NVH department.

Aston is too unreliable and depreciation is enough to give you a nosebleed.
I like the Urus because it has the VW Group reliability and while there is depreciation, it appears to be reasonable.

This morning I drove past an Urus in Grigio Telesto, what a great looking car. Somewhat understated from a distance, then the drama builds as you get closer.

Oh slight correction, there IS a new 666 HP Lister Stealth. I'm not sure it's worth $150K or more though. A quick VelocityAP tune gets mine to 605 HP so not worth it to me anyways. She sure is purdy tho:

Here is a post from today where an Urus owner makes a few TGT vs Urus comparison comments. Read through the thread and Urus and other comparables are mentioned.

If Bubba's buying I'll take a green Performante so I can try rally mode on dirt. Sounds like it might be fun to go all Dukes of Hazard in a $270K SUV. Yeeeeehaaaaaaw!

For Aston, it's also hard to find spare parts. Plus, as you said, it's unreliable.

My 2024 F-Pace has the same dash with curved infotainment screen. Pity Jaguar never updated the interiors of the F-type and I-Pace to be as nice. They both seemed one generation behind all of JLR's other vehicles.
Anxiously awaiting the electric Range Rover! My EQE SUV might go bye bye.

Just for completeness, the Maserai Levante with Ferrari V8. Definitely one of the best looking with the hood open. Too bad they didn't dress up the interior as nicely as the engine bay. I like my Jag's interior much better and it's $75K less expensive.
