I really hope they offer another steering wheel, because this is the only part of the new S-Class I think is awful. Read more

Europeans, and the whole of Europe, are the epitome of sophistication. Having lived there, I can attest to the fact that there is no racism or sexism, and that the societies which they have created are the pinnacle of human achievement and are, for all intents and purposes, completely perfect.

So on the occasions you need to carry both people and stuff, you add a cartop carrier. I have spent many an hour in the way back of my parents' Volvo with my siblings in front of me and all our things nicely secured on the roof rack above. Read more

The Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG still has a the rear-facing 3rd row of seats. I really don't see how anyone could want for anything more from a car. Read more

Being forced to sit in the back row of an MD-80, with the engines literally next to your ear, is (no hyperbole) the worst thing that has ever happened to anyone in the history of the world. Read more

Women driving is very common the UAE. No worries on that count. As far as your own safety, you should be fine. As long as you're cautious and know how to deal with aggressive drivers, you'll be fine. Read more

That's why Saab had the ignition on the center console. The Swedes really know how to make driving sound terrifying. Read more

No, no, I mean you can just keep the key in your pocket/bag/cupholder, but there is still a slot in the dash that essentially acts as a placeholder if you'd like to use it. Read more

How about Volvo's system? It works like all the others, except you also have the normal slot in the dash into which you may insert the key if you so please. Read more

I'm just glad it's interesting enough that people are talking about whether or not it's good looking. Read more

I am a huge Volvo fan, and I feel I should be excited by the release of 5 (!!!) thoroughly updated models. But all I can muster is a big "meh." Read more

The authentic food is pretty good, Mediterranean-style fare. Cheap, too. So if you're into that (and who isn't really?) it's definitely not a let down. Also, they LOVE fast food there, so the companies come up with a lot of newer, crazier ideas for meals than we get here in the U.S. Especially Pizza Hut. They crazy. Read more

Yes, indeed. This was a parking lot outside of a horse show (not even an interesting one, literally just a beauty pageant for horses), so presumably there would be some sheikhs that need to know who has the most beautiful horse. Read more

I wanted to try it SO HARD, but apparently it was a limited time offer, and was no longer available by the time I arrived :/ Read more

They took a car that was lovably ugly in a weird, interesting way and turned it into something that was just boring and still not good looking. I love the original Multipla. Read more

Amongst the worst! But they had to make it more aggressive. Everything has to be aggressive now, and didn't you know that big open mouth=aggressive? Read more

Agreed, was very disappointed as I really liked the new Grand Cherokee. Read more

Grafting the new corporate face onto an old model almost never goes well. Read more
