    This era was already past “the best and nothing else”. This is the early “plastic fantastic” era of Mercedes, combined with the ” we do rust like noone else” fase. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

      Mercedes, sadly, was not the only car brand which went down that route…

    The interior looks terrible and Volvo was doing that years earlier. You can literally see entire rows of empty black plastic buttons in this clip lmao

      And the little white markings wear off easily on that cheapest plastic you can find…

    Even by 1995 mercedes were on the decline just like all other German manufacturers. Now there isn’t a single one that is reliable.

    Pretty much everything breaks on Audi’s and Mercedes. BMW haven’t a clue how to make a reliable turbo if you get a model with one and they have all sorts of electrical issues.

    Sad but the famous ‘German’ build quality went away in the 90s.

    When Germany starts making such cars again, I will be the first one to give my money to them. But not before!

    “Best or nothing” then shows a ton of blanking plates where feature buttons should be πŸ˜‚

    A couple years back (even when luxury makes were going to all screen for all the things) I predicted high quality buttons and knobs which can currently be found on some quite ordinary cars…would eventually be reserved for luxury cars only. Of course the whole wall of LCD screen thing will have to run it’s course before we see the return of a truly useable interior, but it will return regardless. However those of us who can’t justify $65+ for a car may still be trying to use tiny digital sliders to adjust temperature and fan speed, but not those with deep pockets.

    Dear Matt,
    Can you please do an offroad competition between (Ford Ranger, Ford Rapter, Ford Rapter F150 and the Dodge Ram Mammoth.) Or leave out the “Dodge” if you would like, so it’s all kept to being just Fords.
