Online car people like to say random polarizing cars are "Just like the Aztek" but everyone likes to overlook that the Aztek was actually a very shitty vehicle.

How is the Buick replacement any better? The Aztek was spacious. Crappy but spacious.

It's a clean title. It can be repaired, financed, and insured and none the wiser.

Looks like a mix between Tron, and Star Wars. Where does one get tires for the thing? Tarso Marques TMC Dumont.

Tires look like they might be adapted from some sort of drive belt.

Can it corner? Doesn't look like there's much of a radius to turn on. Very flat wheels.

'Ey, nothing wrong with learning through experience. I once poured a canister of power steering fluid into the brake fluid reservoir in one of my cars, necessitating a repair that was worth more than the value of the car itself. Live and learn, learn & live.

I don't remember but maybe a couple of days? I had to fill up the power steering fluid once a week so when the noise hadn't quieted for that week I decided to do a little investigation!

Mine is a FWD A250, but the specs are:

2.0-l turbocharged 4-cylinder inline

7-DCT (7-Speed Dual Clutch Automatic Transmission)

224-horsepower @ 5500 RPM

350 Nm (258 lb/ft) of torque at 1800 RPM

0-100 km/h in 6.2 seconds

Top speed (electronically limited) 250 km/h (155 mph).



Not bad stuff. It's a rocket for sure!  :rockon:

The suspension on the upcoming GLE sounds interesting.

""Free Mode" allows the driver to raise or lower a wheel individually....Equally as fascinating is a mode that automatically bounces the vehicle to help free it when stuck in deep sand. "

So...Bose suspension from 40 years ago?

Interesting thought, that may actually be the case. Did a bit of googling. Apparently Bose sold off its technology and it is heading to "low volume production in 2019". Now I would not consider the GLE low volume, but based on 2019 production alone it may qualify, since it will only start being produced in late fall, early winter.
