None, but we do like our Jaguar enough to get an I Pace next time around.

Now we can get ignored online by the customer service reps if I buy the car through amazon, as opposed to in person at the dealership.

We got incredibly lucky with the Merc 8-cylinder shortage during the pandemic when we bought our GLS 580 in 2019 pre pandemic price spike, and traded it for about 20K more than we bought it for in 2022. We also have an X5 m50i from '22, and I’m wondering if it might be worth holding on to. Seeing as we leave it at a vacation house and only drive it about 4 months of the year, we’re not exactly putting a ton of miles on it anyway.

I want the contact points for my car to be comfortable. I want this seats to be relatively soft leather, but supportive. I want the steering wheel to have a certain feel, not too wouldn’t have plastic, and I want the Tactical controls to feel solid, plastic-y.

Since we all spend a considerable amount of time inside the car, these are all important things. Would you buy furniture that make you itchy? A carpet that hurt your feet? A mattress that was too stiff or too soft to sleep on?

We have our aspirational cars now, but we would like the new S Class. We opted for a '22 x5m50i over the S last year because one of our vacation houses is up a small hilly road that doesn’t always get plowed right after a snowfall, and the S wouldn’t clear it even with snows, even Hakkas (and we’ve already had a gls450 and 580, so they were out of the running).

Felt this way with a c4, and a subsequent c6. I’m afraid to try the c8, I’d be mortified ( and afraid) to admit if I didn’t like it.
