Maybe it's just me, but I actually like the way it looks. Mercedes-Benz is all everyone wants to see! Robot tongue

 


I find MB cars to be quite boring actually. Unless you're looking at something like their SLR McLaren, I can't find much to get excited about when looking at their lineup.


I thought the same thing myself until my mom bought a 2013 GLK 350 4matic to replace her 2012 Yukon Denali.  I have always been a GM guy but that MB is really a work of art, the attention to detail isn't matched by any other brand I have been around and I like to consider myself a car guy.  Lots of specifics I won't waste your time mentioning but if you are seriously considering a new car anytime soom spend a little time in an MB and you might change your mind.


I'm really not into SUVs, so I'm not sure if I'll bite on that one. I prefer sports cars and in that arena MB seems to come up quite short. My mom has an S600 and every time I look at it I can't help but think "There's no way I'd be caught dead driving that." I've got 3 cars already, so I don't think I'll be buying another one anytime soon.

 

E150GT - One of my cars is a Honda. For the most part they're pretty boring, but they do have 1-2 interesting products IMO (but both have since been discontinued).

Re: Help with amex questions

Just curious, what is your car of choice?  my fun car is an 08 z06, but that's not really considered a sports car.

Amex needs a volvo credit card.

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Help with amex questions

I'm partial to the Cayman S.  I find it handles better than the rear engine 911 designs.  Mid engine cars feel great on the track.

Re: Help with amex questions

I want a volvo card that is volvo blue matte background with the volvo badge in aluminum going diagonally across the card with the arrow and circle in the middle. Name; info; all should be on the back along with a metallic amex logo.
The front would contain the card number; CIV; and member since date.

Re: Help with amex questions

The rewards structure on the MB card looks great, but I just can't carry a card that says Mercedes Benz on the front.

FWIW I'm a huge car guy. I drive an '04, mint condition Honda S2000. Lots of fun to drive. I make it out to autocross events whenever I can find the time.

CreditScholar - I'm guessing you're talking about the NSX and S2000?

Nice!  Would look better than the MB card.

 

PS - Just make sure it has a sign up bonus!  LOL

When I'm down here (which is the majority of the year), I drive an '03 Honda NSX (sold under the Acura brand back in the US). Some people might consider it "old", but it's honestly the most fun car I've ever driven. I might be a bit biased though, since there are many open roads around here where I can just drive without worrying about traffic, cops, etc.

 

When I'm back in the US I have a choice of an '06 Gallardo and a '07 350z. I got the previous as a graduation gift when I finished my masters, and I purchased the latter soon afterwards when I realized that there are times/places when it's simply not a good idea to pull up in a lambo. They're both good cars, but given how bad traffic is I rarely get a chance to enjoy them. I'm also only in the US for only 1-2 months per year, so that doesn't help either.

+1. Mid-engine cars are absolutely amazing to drive.
