Re: 2018 E63 from AMG is back
Leawood911:Wife has a new Honda HRV. Awesome little SUV. $200 lease.
If your wife is happy with it...
My wife was funny:
First, she wanted to buy(!) my 991.1 C4 GTS Cab out of the lease, then she decided she needs more space and a less attraction catching car.
Then, she said "I want something cheaper, car cost is too high...". Until our financial advisor told her she needs something more expensive (if she enjoys a more expensive car because it is still out of her money...) to lower her tax payments because she doesn't "spend" enough for her business.
So she took that C63 S AMG Cab test-drive (though I really had to force her because she liked the Diesel she drove in Mallorca after the previous C63 Cab was damaged by another driver) and now she is in love with the AMG. Reason? She said "this car is so nervous...like me..." Not sure this is a good thing, especially in rain but the ESP seems to work OK for her, so no problem.
For my wife, the car is part of her image, she doesn't really enjoy driving it...usually. I guess this is valid for many women.
One of her best friends drives a used Mini Cooper. She is 50 but very obsessed with fitness stuff and her looks (sound familiar? ). That Mini cost her only 11k (used) and is not really a nice car to drive (smallest 4-cyl. fuel engine available at that time) but she drives it because she thinks this car makes her look...younger.
Women...you have to love them.
