  • "I can see airlines adopting this seating arragnment. I'm relatively certain every major airline has a department dedicated to finding ways to make airline travel incrementally worse. "

  • "On first glance, it looks like a truck for someone who want a truck, not for someone that needs a truck. The bed appears too small for anything useful and the passenger compartment looks small, uncomfortable, and cramped as well. Mercedes is late to the party and I think they're going to have a tough time getting into this market. I don't see anything here that meets an unmet need in the market other than the vanity of having the MB emblem on your truck. I've been a truck guy since 1978 and in the last 20 years or so, the big three have finally gotten the balance between functional truck, and creature comforts of a luxury vehicle right. My current GM Sierra Denali handles any work I can throw at it, and gets me to my rural Minnesota home reliably even during the worst parts of winter. "

  • "I love both my hand tools and power tools. If I'm making a kitchen full of drawers, jigs and a router table are a godsend. If I'm making a drawer or two, the dovetail saw and a chisel are faster. Pretty much everything in my life goes that way. Power tools for big jobs, hand tools for little ones."

  • "I travel full time and have a different rental car every week with the same issue. My personal opinion is time and temperature should be somewhere in the middle of the dash near the top so they can be seen by passengers as well as the driver. I prefer digital for a quick read of the time but aesthetically prefer the look of an analog clock. My 2014 Sierra Denali has both a large simulated analog clock as well as digital right above it on the dash display. That and four cup holders for coffee within reach of the driver are why I bought it."
