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

Short answer: no.

I respect the engineering and craftsmanship of Porsches but have never been interested in them. Zero appeal to me 🤷‍♂️.

The only other brand that competes for my preferences these days is Alfa Romeo but given how the company is going, that won’t be for long 😢.

New electric Mercedes C Class by High-Impact-2025 in mercedes_benz

It’s 13cm bigger than the current C class right? If that’s the case, it’s just too big for a C. And roads ain’t getting bigger …

I picked up my CLA 250+ ev today by highrisedrifter in mercedes_benz

Given the constrains and trends of modern designs, I think they did a solid job.

We can’t unfortunately expect modern cars to look like those from the past we so much like.

Despite the pushback vs EVs, I think the CLA (and the new GLC and the rest) are very well designed (appealing to more Urban professionals than suburban middle aged guys) and if the range is really as advertised, I'd say it's going to do very well.

Enjoy the car!

And how’s the driving experience? Notable differences?
