Well, now that you mention it, the tailgate design is unclear for now.

Are they ashamed of the car and need to distance themselves? It looks very bland, unremarkable, and anonymous from the outside, no different looking from other large bland unremarkable looking sedans.... but I guess they (Merc) have the AMG variants to fill that void. I just thought it an omission of what has become so associated from pretty much every other Mercedes vehicle launched in recent years. Edit: comment made after viewing pic on a phone. Looking on a larger screen shows a very small raised bonnet emblem. Still a departure from the norm unless I just dont look at Mercs closely enough these days |

There was rumour that the bonnet emblem would only be available on the S-Class, and would be removed as an option on the E-Class during the next cycle of updates. |

Not sure you would classify this as a luxury sedan. The new Hyundai Ioniq 6. What an ugly looking car, in my opinion. Jelly mould comes to mind. Remember the Sierra, same comments. That eventually sold in thousands, maybe the Iconiq will. Somehow I don't think so.

Lotus made in China, now… Front end looks like a poor Lambo copy (sorry, inspiration). Pffffff.

Well, they are owned to a great extent by Geely, so it should not be a surprise. I'm surprised that they haven't moved the production of London type taxis to China yet, as they own that too! |

Ha yes, we have some of these TX'es here. Waiting to hear the sat nav speaking with a tough cockney accent though! Would be great.
Found the name of the black cabs in Paris, they're called CaoCao. https://www.lesnumeriques.com/voitur...s-n146077.html Few interesting info but at least a good picture showing Eiffel tower. I think the spot is pont de Bir Hakeim, structure due to Gustave Eiffel and interesting story and supporting both a dual carriage and tube line. Last edited by Gerard C; 11 Sep 2023 at 19:56. |

Now you say… may be they tried to mould a Lambo but at speed! 900 hp… Far from a Prius, huh? Crazy planet.

Now this electric car enlightens me about the fact that in movies like Bullitt the bad guys drive a Charger when good people drive a 'Stang! Bad guy, bad taste, the era changes noting!

A sneak peek at the next police cruiser coming to a town near you. I've gotten used to the 4-door Charger and prefer it to the current Challenger, so I don't mind this sedan.
The Hurricane V6 seems to be the same story as the Ford Ecoboost engines in that it performs much better for the EPA testing but real world efficiency is roughly the same as an equivalent V8. |

And just to be different and cause Mopar, it's an I6 and likely going to be in all the way from base why bother old base Slant 6 of yore all the way to a new TRX tuned to 11 TT setup Last tank with the new Hemi was just under 18 of some highway and mostly city so not too much off my old EcoDiesel. Last tank of all city in my 2020 Escape 3 cylinder EcoBoost was 22. And the thing loves to lug and fall flat on it's face before chugging down fuel at 3 mpg cause turbo time |

Looks like they've wound back a bit on the grill size at last. Although it does look like some of the grill trim is now migrated further up the bonnet - looks odd, the front lip of the bonnet is now below the top of the grill.
