Not a big fan of iPhone naming convention for cars, what's next "Max", "Pro Max", "Ultra"...?

Looks good as always from MB.
How could they allow a pure ICE car into the market? It doesn’t fit their narrative. Hopefully the M17x rear main seal doesn’t blow. It’s a feature of the engine. |

This. The interior is the only part that doesn't wow me. The rest of the car is awesome.

Yep...the original GT was made to go head to head with a 911 and be their halo car for handling. They kept adding weight and even though it looks similar to the original, it's a totally different chassis and purpose now. It's gained around 1000lbs...

I don’t follow Mercedes. The central display and instrument display are atrocious. Is that what the S class has? Unimaginable to me it could be that ugly.

MBs depreciate like a lead balloon because their reliability is from the early 1950s.

I thought the rear main seal & oil separator issue was limited to the M177 LS2 in the E63 & M176 in the G wagon & S class. Does the Aston Martin have the same issue as well? Looks like a scary fast 2 door GT coupe but the previous GT coupe (C190) was on another level

I don't follow Aston sites. By way of comparison, no OVS failures reported on Audi/Porsche installations for the latest EA839 V6 and EA825 V8 engines which use similar design architectures including OVS/PCV. There have been OVS gasket leak reports, but these are trivial to replace and don't take down the rear main crankshaft oil seal like MB has designed into the M17x. By way of another comparison and closer to home, I have read no B48 OVS/PCV failures, and none that cause serious collateral damage the way MB's failed solution causes. |

Mercedes lost any ability to have class in its design and now it has a gaudy mess of a dash for tasteless people. Sad too, because their exterior is above average. The only people who want that dash are cryptobro's and middle aged moms who stare at Instagram all day.
