Getting a softer ride for the surgery? Looks pretty sweet.

Yes, it's nice an easy to get into and out of. Adaptive cruise, lane keep, automatic breaking, awd, etc. An old lady car :eek:

I have been driving Wendy. But, she is a climb to get in and out of even though Pat lowered her.

I'd sport that car before my truck, it looks real comfy, AND it won't take all day to get from A to B, lol.

So what does your rearview mirror do when the camera gets dirty? Not a problem in Socal but where I live my back up camera spends it's life half covered in dirt.

I wish they would go the same route as the likes of vw with a pop out camera.

I can flip it and it's a normal mirror.

I don't think it's an old lady car at all. I work on those at the dealer from time to time and I'd definitely own one if I could. Love the space and comfort.

It actually washes the cameras. It has several cameras so it can do the 360° Bird's Eye view and Lane Keep Assist, Pedestrian Detect, Front Emergency Braking, Rear Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise, etc.

But the rearview digital mirror can be switched to a normal glass mirror with your finger.

The engine is kind of interesting. 404HP / 400ftlb out of 3 liters, is ~135hp/L. More power than the AMG 3.0L engine. If it was 6.2 L, it would be 835HP.

Turning the engine up might be a bit risky due to how highly stressed it already is. But who knows?

I wouldn't take a chance on losing warranty Pat.

Yeah, and for what it is, the power is OK already. At 4300lb, it's not going to be a track monster no matter what you do. Add more power, it's still not going to be anything special by today's standards.

But it's pretty sure footed, and with all wheel steering/drive, it corners better than anything has a right to at that size.
