I hope it's wrong but you never know. There are vast amounts of crossovers and SUV's about these days

and to me they all look the same and bland

Mercedes Benz is making the same mistake that Ford , GM and Chrysler did decades ago which is to have too many configurable options in their model line up (which is currently about 30 different bodies). More tooling , more products, more inventory, more safety stock. They built their brand when they had 5 models in lineup and change over happened every 10 years.

It's impossible to have this much variaty and be efficient or effective at the same time.

Thats... insane. Faster than Porsches and Ferraris round the track!

I’ve never owned one but my wife and I had the pleasure of driving and being driven in one over a couple of days as part of an advanced driving course.

The speed that the instructor carried on typical British B roads was staggering. In fact my wife and I were only talking about it a few days ago.

The confidence inspired by the car and driver were other worldly.
