see i think that gls front end looks bad with those large (fake?) front side black round things. and the hood is needlessly high when obviously they can package the same engine way lower.
Seeing that I’m buying it and you’re not, I really don’t care what you think but thanks for sharing lol
The front intakes are functional, they route air around the side of the bumper and out a slit in the back which improves stability at speed and cools the brakes. My S Class has similar inlets on either side but they also cool the intercoolers. Intercoolers on the GLS are not in that position.
The front ends of some of the vehicles with big grills on cars, SUV's and trucks don't look so prominent from different angles. The spindle was the first one that comes to mind.
As I often do after I have lunch nearby on a Sunday is I will stroll through the MB dealer since they are closed. Came across the first S63 AMG I’ve seen live and in person. Looks awesome, I still would prefer the hood ornament and traditional grille…

and i don't care if you don't care about what i think of it of course, but i'm still entitled to have an opinion and express it.

not that you care but i think they look much better on your s-class.

actually i one i originally posted without the cover was also without the 'noise snake' which i removed because i didn't need extra noise piped into the interior.
here's where the snake goes/was:
I'm kinda shocked you removed it, lol. But then again, my car does not have the "snake" either. Instead, it has a little flap on the airbox that produces a little more sound. When the car is off, it stays open. I believe vacuum pressure is used to keep it closed while the vehicle is running. It opens up just below 3,000 RPM. Some owners remove the vacuum line to keep it open all the time for moar sound.
Such a pretty engine bay. But my IS 500 also has a single intake, unlike your LC 500. I wonder how that affects the driving experience.
IS 500 engine bay looks good to me but I'm biased.
Alex, would it have killed Toyota to put 5W-30 on the oil filler cap lol? I'm about to cross 4k miles. Oil change coming up soon, hoping they don't put 0W-10 oil in there.
Well I got screwed by the 4.0, made the mistake of taking it on long trip and it lost cyl 2 from a coil/plug. So I get to fix it 500 miles from home lol!

Something like this would have been nice.
There is a sticker under the hood, but I didn't have it in the shot.

Theres a little bit of difference between expressing an opinion in general, and expressing an opinion about a car someone likes and is considering purchasing or owns themselves. You don’t always have to express your opinion, and you don’t have to do it in a rude and belittling way.
You love to **** on stuff people like that you don’t like…then put a little smiley after it. You don’t like the car, in the future when I discuss it or post pictures of it just know that I know that, and keep it to yourself.

This is reason 314 why I don’t want to keep old cars. You can fix it, I’d be stranded.
