No, but it can happen if its been 90 and all of a sudden is say, 75

That only happens when I hit bumps hard. Most recently I hit drove over some rather tall curbing at a track and saw a sudden but stable 3psi loss. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Absolutely.
If I could just get into a 223 for what I'm paying for my 222 I would probably just do that, but its going to cost $700-$1,000 a month more than my 222 so I gotta love it and be happy. i7 I bet I could get within $250-300 of what I am paying, and I wouldn't be spending $400 a month for gas.

People shop value and not always price so I'm guessing at these astronomic prices people are not seeing the value anymore and shopping around for something better.

They’re selling them, prices are improving we’ll see how they do. But yeah I’m sure a lot of returning customers are shocked what a replacement car will cost.
Oh and Streamliner ON MBWorld bought a 2020 S560 today to replace his 2022 S580

I feel the same way about sedans. I really don’t like driving my X7 unless it is on a road trip, I’m just not a SUV guy. There is a lot to like about them, but for me just not to drive every day.

My perfect car would be a sedan that can transform into an SUV only when I need it too. Haha

I like one for specific uses. Trips. Fun. That’s why I like having both in the house. It I had a 3 car garage I would just buy the van out for my wife and get an SUV also and then we’d have all 3.

The natural progression when going down that road is to add a boat or some jet ski's or a travel camper or some 4 wheelers or something fun.
It's just the way it is, I didn't make the rules. Haha

lc is owned and not on lease like the santa fe, but i bought the lc out of state and i know the sales guy left and went to a bmw dealer lol.
i've had emails from that dealer though (no, not taking the lc 900 miles for the 'service special' )
i get the sense car sales are slowing...

I recently got an email from my lexus guy that I got one from him more than 10 years ago. They must not sell as many as they had hoped.

I don't like the look of the interior either.
So, I have concerns about going to the 223 and being unhappy...
Yeah and I have come to like the styling, but I don't love the concept of driving something that is polarizing. My friend that has a 760 though said that he gets more comments and compliments on his 760 than any car he has ever had, and he has a G Wagen and a Mclaren lol. I have heard that from some others too. I think people in the real world like them more than forums and the press would indicate.

Without a doubt. I got an email from the salesman at MB about that new refresh 2024 GLS I posted the pic of a few weeks ago, he says he still has it and could work a deal out for me. These were impossible to get a few months ago with 15k markups, and that is the brand new refresh!
It wasn't that great a deal, I saved about $200 a month from what a "typical" W222 lease deal was, market factors of course make the difference now but the point is the same, if I'm gonna pay way more I have to really love and want the car.
Not from people who have the new ones. Thats the key, I ignore that kind of stuff too but there are a considerable number of people who have the W223s that are unhappy and miss their W222s, those people I pay attention to.
I don't know, like I said there are a considerable number of people who have upgraded and regret it.
But he would get NO comments. The fact that people are commenting means it makes a positive impression on people.
I have owned ugly cars (my ES300 for instance) and people just say nothing lol
Thats true, but we also don't need a van anymore. We did at one time, we needed all the space and all but we don't today. Her only concern is the doors, she is convinced the kids will swing the doors open into other cars and I know its just a matter of them learning not to do that.
it's always easy to find anecdotes saying "the old one was better". try a corvette forum, mustang, etc.
understand, and i don't think that's happening, but obvioulsy 100% your valid and personal choice whichever way you go.
your friend is unlikely to get negative comments about his 760.

fixed that for you.

I think so. This dude sold me one car long long time ago. He must not make the numbers his boss wants to see.
Did he have same color? I know this guy who got two model S same color. They must love their car a lot. I got same models before but I got different colors.
I may be biased but that saying is not wrong on many BMWs. X7 is notoriously ugly but this X6 won the tittle. I saw one like this before at night but when I went on their website, I could build one like this. So I had to take a picture this morning. This thing is probably over 100k. How could someone drop that big change on a car like this?
