Only problem is that it's a five year old car and they've simply not moved forwards.

That's ironic coming from a Merc fanatic - they haven't moved forward since the late 1980s ;D

Unashamedly so...  :D

They still produce cars though, so there's that... >:D

Yes....but Jaaag are well ahead when it comes to DEI (Didn't earn it) policy.

And that is far more important than building excellent cars. ::)

Well, that's debatable ;D.  If 4 wheels hung off a 1970's design still counts as a car, then you are, of course, right :)

Even the rebadged clit, sorry, A Class  >:D, is technically a car...

Besides, Ian Callum has never worked for Mercedes, which must be another plus

That would be ok. Their 1970s designs were actually pretty solid. ;)

Perhaps, but they still outsold JLR at a rate of over 5:1 last year so they must be doing something right/less wrong >:D

Can't say I was overly impressed with the 2006 CLS 500 I owned.

It did look good but was not particularly well screwed together, or reliable.

I loved my1993 190e Mercedes that was a really well built vehicle, my E430 Mercedes was a lovely car to drive but being truthful I actually preferred my Omega which it replaced, not keen on any of the offerings from Jaguar or Mercedes presently on offer.

Utter junk, the facelift versions are different again, better interior, next gen sound and infotainment, uprated ADAS........and the SV version is in a different league.
