Then it looks more normal, doesnt have the fancy AMG steering and other bits, can be had with wood and even a white colored interior but still retains the 6 cylinder with around 380hp. As a whole its dialed down to more normalcy without the shitty 4 cylinder found in the CLE 300 or the C-class. It is the perfect car in the CLE line-up and it needs a review of its own with a comparison of sorts to the CLE 53

It's heavy, comfy, long trip runner for every weather and road conditions out there yet classy to find the best hotel and restaurant in that town that you would like to go by a car trip. Yet, there still a lot of fun in that place, so you can test your skills at the track, lightly, learn something new about car and come back home with your kids that you took from the school.

Exactly. Engineering and performance standouts gave the values to the brand, but now we have cues without the standouts. Mercedes has made AMG into a cloak rather than a dagger. It’s all visual cues and just enough car to sell to those who want the brand more than what it stood for. The hood badge, as Thomas experienced it, is perfect: branding with the life drained away. The car - listen up, James! - is a cenotaph: overdone signifier with little - or here just enough to sell - signified. A not really car for not really drivers.

0:31 their sedan/coupe lineup was a mess though. C-class, c-class coupe, CL class, CLE, cle class coupe, CLS .... Repeat for E, S, and A (RIP) classes. Some of the names also don't match up with the "class" (c, e, s) that the vehicle implies it's based on engineering wise.

Some of the ones you listed never existed at the same time as the others lol. But yeah it's very confusing

Idk how any modern screens still look so detached from the car their in I know with tesla it's an identity and it took a while to adapt But in 2024 on a full refresh/new model, you can't build a screen cowl? Anything?

I thought the same thing as soon as they showed the back.

I couldn’t think of what the back reminded me of. That’s what it is

The interior is fine as it is! You don't need to have one of the full-fat signed AMG models to enjoy the AMG interior. I rented a 4-door CLA 200 when I visited the UK 3 weeks ago, which was specced with the optional "AMG Packet". This packet includes the stitched alcantara interior, the AMG steering wheel, sportier seats etc. It did not have the carbon interior decoration obviously, but in general it was similar to the CLE 53 tested here. Contrary to what Thomas says, in my opinion the AMG interior felt really nice even in a car with a 1300 cc engine.

Woowww… Mercedes-Benz is able to offer 4-wheel steering… on a car for under $100,000!! How is that even possible?! It somewhat reminds me of my Honda Prelude Si… I believe that was in 1989(?)… when I was in High School… 35 YEARS ago!!! Cool coupé though. Thanks for the video.
