obama she get this MB

[troutsaver]

so, I can see the front of this car going directly into the side window of my Chery QQ.. now the bag gets inflated and the car is elevated the bumper will hit directly into my face

[EpiDemic117]

so to wrap this up the only awesome idea i found in this cars safety is the under airbag skid plate.

[EpiDemic117]

ok some great ideas here but far from practical. The side door inflation isn't necessary. That is why you put two reinforced tubes inside the door structure. How about car collision compatibility? Acura has already done this with their ACE system. Another feature found inside the prius is a radar like detector. If it detects a car to close it immediately calibrates the breaks so they are more tense when breaking. ESA is also a key feature as well.

i think that its Volvo XC60 that has sensors which record anything thats happening around the vehicle. also when going 15km/h or less in trafic and if you get ocupied with something else while car in front of you stopps, the car enters a full breaking mode and stopps imidietly. honda also has night vision.

Do you think a PRIUS has safety technology a Mercedes-Benz vehicle doesn't? It's called Distronic Plus with Pre-Safe Brake, and it's available on a large majority of M-B models in NA.

[EpiDemic117]

yes but do you know how much more expensive the car is? A larger portion of people are going to be buying economy cars such as the prius (don't quote me on this if is said it wrong about it being an economy car). MB is mostly for the rich people. I don't like em.

[subazo1]

cool

[Navajustin]

who wants to buy me 1

[IvyLeagueCars]

This is the future, between it being a Hybrid and how advanced it is.

I love S-Classes, they will always be on top.

[Rawr454]

Ok, looks like they went over the top with airbags, but that's how ideas get made eh. The under the car airbag is a great idea, more surface area resisting the faster it will stop. Although, we don't know how violent of a deceleration it is, which can cause injuries of it's own. Also, the less fortunate people who's cars aren't equipped with airbags under their cars will just plow into the back of this "safety" car. So, good ideas here, some just unpractical.

I'm so glad that Daimler got rid of Chrysler when they had the chance.  Daimler knew that Americans would not pay more for better engineered cars so they got rid of that bag of trash real quick.

[ultra4477]

[logonyomyface]

they will if everyone gets this car! but yeah, german cars rule.
