I genuinely do love the screens and the lighting, and I think that peoples’ hatred of them is misguided or overblown a lot of the time. Why is it hard to believe? And this is the first time we’ve decided to try this AOTD-style format, typically when we’ve done a What Do You Want To Know post we don’t actually directly Read more

Yes, you can fully turn off the passenger screen and turn off the central screen almost all the way — the bar at the bottom with the climate controls, track buttons and home button stay visible. And you can dim the brightness, of course. Read more

Or maybe it’s because yesterday was the embargo lift for driving impressions for everyone who got to drive the E-Class, thus why we put two stories up at the same time, and it’s a very good car that I really like. I’m not sponsored by Mercedes or new to auto journalism, it’s far from the most expensive car I’ve ever Read more

No the one that I got was like $600, a 3.1.2ch with a subwoofer included. I’m just in a one bedroom apartment with not a ton of space fairly thin walls, so I don’t need/want something with lots of speakers. Hence why I just did without one for so long anyway. Read more

It’s not “what I think,” it is fact. It’s not that these things are compromises because of not having the window, it’s that they are made possible because there is no window. You couldn’t have the same coupe-style body and greenhouse shape, that size of pano roof, and that amount of space in both the second row and Read more

The design of the housing helps air flow around the cameras and keep them clean, and the lenses are dustproof and waterproof

If it had a rear window it couldn’t have the larger pano roof, the larger cargo area, the much larger rear seat and the added safety. Read more

Nope, I genuinely think the Kicks is a fantastic design! Read more
