To memerc01, in car and driver in 2007, not the first Mercedes was recommended. 85% of ALL Toyotas Were. I have seen it myself more trouble with mercedes than Toyota. Also if the Mercedes was a diesel, it has a turbo. It also has more torque on the bottom than the RAV. Look up the specs yourself. I did.
the truth of the matter is this, the rav4 has about 268hp, not to mention the vehicle is pretty light. if you were to race this car against something like a infiniti fx 45 it might be different.
I would say otherwise if you are saying toyota's are cheap, Mercedes is one of the least reliable car manufactures today, according to consumer reports.
Toyota is now the largest and highest income generating autmomotive manufacturer ang 6th largest company in the world. Cheap in what sense? Probably because of the reasonable price. What can European or other brands can do that Toyota Can't? None!!! While Toyota can do a lot of things that other brands can't......Thats the truth
just wanted to know but the comment you posted 4 hours ago was to me, and I don't really know why you posted it to my comment. Was the comment for eppyduck??? I already know all the things you said in you comment and it seems to me that you hit reply on the wrong comment box.
well for starters, they havent really innovated anything. Most of the innovations in the world come from Euro. Not saying toyota is no good. but its more like, a toyota is an appliance so.. I have never said COOOOL to a dishwasher.
Mercedes Benz has went up a half of a point to make their reliability fair, which is only one point above poor which is the lowest you can go. Stop making things up that they surpass honda and toyota because their not even close of doing that!
nope sorry your wrong mate. Seeing as you are a toyota lover I will just give up because I have other things to do, like enjoying the drive, something you cannot do in a toyota oh or get comfortable like you would in a mercedes. Of all the MB's we have had only one issue and that was on a 94 C180, and it was a minor central locking issue. Just go get bitten by the mercedes bug like so many have and you'll see (: Every month i read auto magazines in my country that say that same thing about MB.
Lexus is in the same class as Mercedes. Toyota is not, even though they make more fuel efficient cars that are more reliable and safer.The safety options on the new Prius excel whats available on the E class. But oh, wait, you don't have to pay $48,000+ to experienced the lush an state of the art Prius which starts at only $22,000.Toyota is the best value for the money and that has been proven. Having a Toyota is amazing, their comfortable to drive,have predictable handling, and FUEL EFFICIENT!
The mercedes E class undertook millions and millions of Kilometres of testing before it was sent out, all over the world from the coldest to hottest climates. The air intakes are designed to close to increase fuel consumption. It is the most aerodynamic car in production with a Cd of .27. More recent innovations would be the ceramic brakes, 2003 in the SLR, lane keep assist, auto dimming high beams, attention assist, and night view assist. Thats it mate, go get your information. till then shush
Really, really, I come home from vacation to see 8 messages in my inbox, unbelievable, and I am not replying to all of them since there is no use to. Think what you want to think and I will know the true facts. Speaking of facts, the E class is not the most aerodynamic car, the Toyota prius is, it's aerodynamic styling helped it achieve a Cd of .25 lower than .27. And all of those features you stated are all available on the new toyota prius.
they are available on the new prius, they were made by benz, debuted on the benz.
Toyota did not make it better, they modified it for their customers and for their cars. You are speaking of what some journo said whic by the way gets words shoved down their throats. Don't trust a journo they are there to put fear into your life. Which isnt the case here.
Toyota put the features on world renowned cars, so your saying no one has every heard of a mercedes C class?
actually in a way they made it better, they made those features reliable. there were many reports of the systems failing and actually causing a crash cause of it.
well actually in the united states, more people die in Mercedes and bmw cars than any other car. And over here the corolla costs 15,000, you could by a well equipped Toyota Camry for that money
in the united states, ok get me a REAL source instead of word to keyboard, The Mercedes-Benz C-Class comes with 8 airbags as standard. a 2002-2003 comes with 6 as standard, it is still more than two. They haven't made it more reliable since there has never been reports of things going wrong with these systems, MB like every other manufacturer do their job, do it right and do it 100% every time.
There isnt actually a point in this whole video since you have a V6 Toyota motor against a heavy 5 cylinder turbo diesel. THIS V6 against the MB 3.5 V6 would seem fair, and it has been done. The German motor won for its gain in power, less fuel consumption and smooth power delivery. Toyota are reliable cars. But that is about it, they dont make anything else. they TRY to.
There may not be a point to this video but I don't care. Germany is weird, once one of their cars get a extra mile to the gallon they go crazy! Maybe because most Mercedes aren't that fuel efficient to begin with. Toyota's are reliable cars and that isn't it! They also make super-safe, fuel efficient, comfortable, and stylish cars. ~"they TRY to"~ put a sock in your mouth! That is the stupidest bullshit I have ever heard!...
You insulting a country means nothing, and typically you begin to throw swear words at me. obviously useless. Toyota are good reliable cars but Mercedes-Benz is Just a better car. No one wishes to retire and drive a toyota. Mercedes & Benz have been making cars before toyota was even born. The new prius has technology such as radar guided cruise control which was made in 2006 by Mercedes-benz, first ever seen on the S class. The new CGI engines are at the top of being the most economical.
Mercedes invented most of those features, Toyota took those ideas made them better and put it on a world renowned car, the Toyota prius. And by the way, Toyota is the worlds largest and best auto maker, it was said on ABC world news, that broad casted everywhere. Bye for now, since I know you will still reply.
I still reply because I have an idea of something that is the complete opposite of you and finally talking to someone educated enough to understand. The thing is, Toyota aims at a totally different market from Mercedes-Benz, you cannot sit here and say a toyota is a better luxury or long distance tool than a mercedes-benz CL which toyota has no competitor for. Mercedes-benz SL? THE greatest roadster ever hands down by the motoring greats. There's no point in actually going on anymore
Lexus is the competitor to mercedes and they do have a well matching roadster that doesn't cost as much, the Lexus is350 convertible/roadster. And unlike mercedes toyota built cars have easy to use controls, mercedes over complicates every thing in there car. You have to go threw many menu's just to find the presets to change a radio station. That in return takes your eyes off the road for many seconds in which case you can get into an accident. There system is as horrible the BMW iDrive feature
...Toyota is making the roads a safer place, and when they do research on something they would like to incorporate into their magnificent cars and when they know that the something is definitely what the car needs to become even better that it is already, they succeed! Something Mercedes wouldn't know about even though it took them so long to perfect it (well make it 'good enough' to put it into their cars) while it took toyota such a short time. Toyota thinks beyond of what Mercedes could ever!
patented the catalytic converters, radar guided cruise control, electronic brake distribution, automatic headrests, the collapsable steering wheel collumn, padding the steering wheel, reinforced side passenger protection. Thing is I could go on, JD power rates Mercedes benz jumping from 25 to 5th ahead of Toyota and then in 2008 it jumped yet another spot. This is all information that is in the books, worldwide. Mercedes-Benz spend Billions of dollars on technology studies and testing.
maybe we are just going to end up both right. unfortunatly mercedes-benz is just a better manufacturer. you are going to say otherwise but i do not care because i know what is true, and i see more people dieing in a toyota than a Mercedes-Benz. A Standard toyota (corrola for instance) costs about A$23,500 and comes with two airbags and abs. for that money i could buy a 2002-3 Mercedes C-Class with 8 airbags, abs traction and esp
your corrola comes with 7 airbags for $15,000? I'll take your word for it when i see it, but unfortunatly thats America where $50,000 will get you a GL500. they are not just a better manufacturer, they are completely different that you are starting to make less sense as you try to defy me. Mercedes-Benz have more experience hands down, better managed, although make less money are the most technologically advanced car manufacturer.
actually 7 airbags is standard at what price or package you go up to. And try again, for $50,000 that would get us an e-class. If Mercedes is better managed and more experience how come Toyota is the worlds #1 manufacture, based on government reports of every single country. Believe it, because it is true.
I took a guess from what i heard, and 7 airbags is not standard, in the US it might be but other countries toyota is not so good. but whatever, you believe what you want.
and vice versa. finally the end of a two month argument ending up in resolving nothing, changing no ones mind of anything, at least when I was bored I turned to your messages to at least do something. Bye Mcmerc01, it was entertaining to type with you.
And yes I am a Toyota lover, and a Scion and Lexus lover, that is because there are just so many things to love love about toyota made cars, instead or that unreliably piece of just Mercedes is making. Don't mess with a Toyota lover! (Because we'll crush you!). End of discussion!
nah mate not end of discussion, Mercedes-Benz is the most technoligically advanced auto maker in the world, since they began they have constantly innovated technology that you see in cars such as incorporating ABS for the first time ever, or patenting Airbags which were availabe since 1986, crumple zones, safety door locks, powered steering, Pre Safe, ESP, traction control, seatbelts, conducted the first ever car crash tests, first rollover tests, patented the passenger safety cell
4. then paste this to 4 other video's, if you do this your crush will kiss you on the nearest friday! But if you read this and did not paste this, then you will have very bad luck and ur dad might lose his job
I have a ML270 and RAV4 with 2.4L petrol motor.
The RAV4 is quicker, quieter and smoother to drive. Similar power but the RAV4 is 600kgs lighter than the ML270.
Get the same fuel economy around town, except the ML270 uses diesel.
The ML has the Merc badge appeal, higher driving position and would be safer in a crash. (Built like a tank).
Will sell the ML270 as once its out of warranty the yearly service and maintenance costs are huge.
