[@erikiversen408]

Mercedes for years now has blown the doors off of almost every other mfr with their interiors. They're a work of art, especially with their ambient lighting. At least, when you sit in this car it's going to look like you spent $100,000 on it. So many other vehicles, especially American (including Cadillac) cannot compare with Mercedes. Every person should sit in their car they're about to buy and spend money almost all of us don't have and ask yourself, 'is the interior of this car look like the money I'm spending?' I would bet the majority of people would say, "nope" and walk right out of Chevy, Ford, Cadillac, etc.

[@MrSergei12345]

I was choosing between this and 911, Mercedes dealer told me my back would hurt in Porsche and wife also complained that I need 4 seats, so I opted for Mercedes. To bring it in Cyprus I had to pay almost double price unfortunately, but I am happy with the car so far, second year of driving it, it’s a nice compromise between sport and business presentation, when I feel young and cocky I turn on s+ and the exhaust bangs and shoots really loud so everyone on the street can hear it and ladies love it. There’s really nothing particularly bad about the car, it’s a perfect choice to drive smoothly and show off a little bit. PS if somebody asks you why you didn’t take 63, tell them that you forgot to ask for their advice when buying the car 😂😂😂

[@jeffs6090]

I love the "fake vents"! To me, they aren't fake vents as you say. They are a design feature. It would look utterly ridiculous if it were smooth. There's one car you showed a while back that had the area smoothed out, and it definitely looked stupid. The textured design just flat out looks better. And it's obviously not just me if practically every vehicle has that textured design feature.

[@Mokotarish]

Well they’re zonks because why not just make them real? Can easily be real and it’s an AMG

[@jamisonz3365]

@Thee Mokotarish Because only 63s get the real vents. If you make real vents on 53 then the front face of 53 and 63s are entirely the same. And to be honest the 53 don't really need that vents, they're not 63 after all.

99% of buyers don't care about 0-60 or quater mile times. 100% don't care what you care about when buying their cars either. My wife has one and its leaps and bounds above what your SQ5 can offer. Price is subjective too. $106k for a car might not be a lot for some people. For most others it is.
