Reviews SummaryYou get what you pay for. For a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, you’ll pay a lot, but the reward will be owning one of the finest luxury cars on the face of the planet. The only reason to shop around is if you can’t afford one, and let’s be straight, has anyone gotten out of bed and said, “I can’t wait until I can buy an Acura TLX!”? While the latest E-Class is technically in its fifth generation, Mercedes has been making midsize sedans since the 1950s. It’s been in business for 130 years. The Germans understand luxury, and after you drive the new E-Class, so will you. | |
Reviews SummaryRodney Dangerfield was a legendary stand-up comedian, and while his on-stage shtick was all about how he didn’t get any respect, as a comedic talent he was held in the highest esteem. That’s not the case for the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu. The oft-maligned Malibu literally gets no respect, which is too bad because with its most recent redesign for the 2016 model year, the car absolutely deserves it. | |
