Can a used luxury car really make you look rich?

By admin | Published: March 22, 2011
No. Well, maybe for few weeks (in your mind). They’ll actually make you more poor. And here’s why: 2001 BMW 740iL, low miles, only $11,000! Wow, tempting  isn’t it? How could that be? You might wonder “didn’t that thing cost like $80,000 back then?” Yes, the keyword is “back then”. Would you drive a 10-year [...]

Mid-cycle Facelift – for better or worse

By admin | Published: January 4, 2011
Mid-cycle facelifts are done for few reasons; it keeps the aging model from looking old. Slightly modifying easy-to-replace trim pieces or accents on an aging model gives it the appearance that something has changed. It also works to generate new parts sales. Sometimes it’s used to correct mistakes or bad design choices. Whatever the case, [...]

Mercedes-Benz SLS – Try again. Please.

By admin | Published: April 26, 2010
Merecedes-Benz has got to be the most ugliest cars that you can buy today next to the Geely. At least with Geely you don’t pay for the ugliness. It’s rare that a car maker’s entire model line consists of butt-ugly cars but Mercedes has somehow pulled this off. The new SLS is no exception. Your [...]

Chicago Auto Show Impressions

By admin | Published: February 18, 2010
Some say the money and effort a car maker spends on auto show promo materials, brochures, and etc. are a good indication of how they are doing financially at the moment. Which is very true because marketing and promotion is the last thing you want to skimp as a car maker. Having said that, Toyota, [...]

Thoughtlessness in Modern Car Designs

By admin | Published: April 25, 2009
Every human invention, at its early stage are novelty items attainable only by the rich few. But eventually they all become run-of-the-mill objects that provoke no emotions or awe as they become mainstream and affordable for the masses. Telephone, radio, refrigerator, washing machine, television, camera, camcorder, microwave, cell phone were all at one point novelty [...]

2009 Mercedes Benz SL63 AMG

By admin | Published: November 27, 2008
First of all, “SL” stands for “Sport Light”. Light my pimply ass. The thing weighs almost 4500 pounds. Volvo XC90 weighs less than that. That’s stupid heavy especially for a car claiming to have sport pretensions. Don’t get me wrong this freakin thing is said to accelerate pretty well despite the weight. That’s because it [...]

Why make BMW 7-Series or Benz C-Class

By admin | Published: April 20, 2008
Here is why I think BMW should stop making the 7-series and Mercedes-Benz should stop making the C-Class. Each of these cars are at the extreme ends of these two companies where they really have no business of being there in the first place. Enthusiasts would agree that “cheap Mercedes” or “luxury BMW” is an [...]

AMG No More…

By | Published: January 20, 2008
Remember when A.M.G. (if you do not know what it is, here it is) meant something very, very special? Cars like the AMG Hammer sent chills down your spine because you knew it was something truly rare, something truly exclusive, and a true bad-ass car. Sadly, the modern AMG is nowhere near what it used [...]

Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG

By admin | Published: December 14, 2007
What’s a $10k to a well-heeled individual loaded up to his nostrils? I’d guess probably not much. Especially when it comes to the car of his choice. However, Mercedes wants to make sure it has all grounds covered. It offers models with $10,000 or so in between among its top echelon. For the quite rich, [...]
