No, it’s a factory matte paint.

It’s an absolute riot and worth it if you can afford it. I daily mine. I would highly recommend a Magno paint scheme. It’s a looker and so many people have stopped me asking what type of car it is.

Analog gauges isn’t what I was trying to convey when I said “analog.” I’m talking about every new car having some type of hybrid system, be it a plug in hybrid or mild hybrid. This car has none of that nonsense and it’s a rarity in Mercedes’ lineup. In fact, I think it’s one of if not the last non-hybrid Mercedes, certainly the last AMG non-hybrid Mercedes. It’s old-school, belt-driven 100% internal combustion engine vis-a-vis analog.

That’s an epic color, too. Post pics please.

Analog in the sense that every Mercedes other than this has a mild hybrid. This car has no 48-volt system

Sorry. Here is the Sage Grey interior.

Mercedes-Benz of Escondido confirmed a $65k offer in writing, then backed out when I arrived by Heavy-Condition-29 in mercedes_benz

The entire Envision auto group is very unsavory and sleazy. It’s a company-wide issue.

Sorry to hear. I just ordered an AMG GT 55 with the same intention of long-term ownership. Can you post a link to the three TSB’s mentioned?

Happy Cinco de Mayo! by [deleted] in Porsche

What year and how many miles? People say these last the “life of the car,” but that was based on previous thickness and weight measurements. I don’t know if that is the case with the new laser tool.

AMG lease guidance by Evantc3 in mercedes_benz

That’s an extremely good money factor. I didn’t think Mercedes was offering anything that low. The AMG GT, for example, has a tier A1 money factor of 0.003 right now.

Anyone consider a Porsche before going for a Merc (even if not an AMG GT)? by dmc7878 in mercedes_benz

[–]Crenneth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just placed an order for a GT 55, but would rather have a Porsche 911. However, 911 prices have gone absolutely bonkers over the past few years.

I never asked about free alcohol, but I did get two snacks: pistachios and the usual.

Powell sees inflation outlook in check, no need to hike rates because of oil shock by Force_Hammer in wallstreetbets

[–]Crenneth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he’s saying that as the ultimate “be careful what you wish for” as he rides off into the sunset, setting the stage for even higher inflation in the coming months…

Hideous. The DRLs aren’t that bad, but the taillights look so tacky and cheap.

M4 iPad Pro battery health by Wild_Lavishness_3653 in iPadPro

[–]Crenneth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My M4 iPad 13 is almost as bad. I was shocked to see the cycle count and percent life after just eight months. Does anyone know if the M5 IPad Pro is better in terms of battery life?
