Damn… @SteezySamir in shambles. This new front end of the ‘27 S Class is terrible. Somehow they looked at the i7 and thought the big grille aperture was a good thing.

The rumor is, alas, true. The first car w/ heated front seat belts.

The little they wrote about the headlight tech sounds interesting.

They will apparently also be car-to-X communication, regarding road conditions (for suspension adjustment).

Looks fantastic IMO. And heated seat belts have been on my wishlist for years, didn’t realize they were actually gonna become a thing

Do we know if it’s both the lap and shoulder belt portion that is heated?

You’re forgetting the part that matters the most - the buckle! Cannot be too hot either.

I don’t know - hopefully the shoulder. Guess we’ll find out soon

Why in the hell would a GLS need a flat plane crank V8?

Don’t cross plane make more torque down low? Nobody drives a GLS for top end revs?

New S-class has same V8, the M177 Evo. It is just their new V8 they are going to shove in everything including new 63 models, just different power levels.

M177 Evo is Euro 7 emission compliant, which runs through 2035 at minimum.

Merc V8’s coming back!

MB Charleston posting a decent discount on a GLE 580. If someone can push them a bit, the payment would look like this calc with only first due (using NY taxes). Been sitting for ~400 days. This selling price is halfway between the extra clean retail and clean wholesale market value, so not entirely a long shot. I’d be very happy driving this car for this price, even with the prospect of new tires. Maybe this is too rose tinted but would love to see someone give it a shot.

Strongly considering a 2021 E63s with 67k miles on it. Am I asking for trouble? I made a call to the previous dealer that had been servicing it since 23 and they said everything was up to date, including new brakes all around. What would be the next big service coming up? I asked the service advisor but he really didn’t answer that for me.

This silver fox keeps cruising up and down the street hollering at the ladies. Is it @DailyDriven ?

Probably plugs and trans/diff fluid if it hasn’t been done by now. About the only thing they’re known for that I’m aware of is the rear main seal and motor mount issues.
