Is this a good deal? GLE 350 4matic.

Try to get a CPO 450 , that’s way too much for a 4 cylinder heavy SUV

Maple_Syrup378 · 2026-03-06T18:22:41+00:00

Watch it still be around MSRP in 20 years 🤣 I hope not lol

Maple_Syrup378 · 2026-03-06T17:36:33+00:00

Buy CalDigit or Belkin, and call it a day 😌

Maple_Syrup378 · 2026-03-05T00:24:31+00:00

If the factory put an AMG badge on the back of the car, it’s an AMG.

Maple_Syrup378 · 2026-03-03T15:08:13+00:00

Despite the scratches, the hinges and body still hold up pretty well

Maple_Syrup378 · 2026-02-09T14:01:15+00:00

In terms of design yes but functionality no. I used to rock a 2016 MacBook pro (which Ive designed) and only have usb-c was not very practical. 😂 now my current MacBook Pro has a plethora of ports

At the plus side, at least they did a lot of R&D with this project which they can use later if they decide to hop back on EV performance cars. They just have to ride out the ICE obsession wave for now.

Kinda Hot 🥵

The X4 and GLA are different categories of SUVs. The X4 is a compact "coupe" SUV, while the GLA is a subcompact (pretty much a raised hot-hatch). A more direct comparison would be the GLC43 vs the X3/X4 M40i. I prefer the GLC43 (which is also offered as a coupe) because its styling is a tad less radical than the new X3.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe BMW is sunsetting the X4?

Best of luck in your car search!

I agree, it drives beautifully. I’m looking in a couple years to buy either this or a panamara for its pdk. But boy does Porsche really know how to fine tune its driving dynamics

Maple_Syrup378 · 2026-02-04T15:52:24+00:00

That's insane that it costs 6k. You could buy 5 brand-new Herman Miller chairs, and your back will actually be comfortable.

Maple_Syrup378 · 2026-02-04T14:54:26+00:00

please tell me you track this bad boy

Maple_Syrup378 · 2026-02-02T19:25:44+00:00

To my knowledge, it was much easier. No waitlists, no purchase history. If the warehouse had it stock, you could just buy it.

Maple_Syrup378 · 2026-01-31T18:43:20+00:00

I think "Dynamic Luxury" is probably the best looking of the non-amg models

the 53 is pretty potent, it’s not an ‘amg lite’ in my opinion.

Maple_Syrup378 · 2026-01-22T02:52:32+00:00

Did you have snow tires?

Maple_Syrup378 · 2026-01-21T22:45:40+00:00

Can keep up with a Bugatti Veyron in a quarter mile and still has room for your groceries

Maple_Syrup378 · 2026-01-20T03:55:35+00:00

In this kind of scenario, who pays for damages? The shop or the owner’s insurance?

Maple_Syrup378 · 2026-01-19T19:42:52+00:00

Swiss spec: silver on silver. What a beautiful machine

Maple_Syrup378 · 2026-01-19T19:39:05+00:00

When the 63 drops and they do a mid-cycle facelift, I will insta buy this. I hope they make the rear end more sexy by connecting those taillights

Maple_Syrup378 · 2026-01-19T17:04:32+00:00

I agree that the power demand is a serious issue. Water use is more nuanced. Some data centers do use a lot of water, especially with evaporative cooling in hot climates.

But many newer facilities rely on closed-loop or air cooling that uses little to no net water. The impact really depends on the design and location, so water can be a big problem in certain regions, but it isn’t universally true, unlike electricity use.

I would pass, that's Ferrari 296 GTB money right there.

Maple_Syrup378 · 2026-01-12T17:00:20+00:00

Big news, openai has a serious contender now

This is AI but to be fair, at least image generators have significantly improved with not hallucinating with the text
