Automatic

you two (probably samefag) are fucking idiots. having a suspension that soft isn't a good thing. drives like a fucking boat, bodyrolling everywhere

Mother of God, what the hell is going on with the outside front tire? It's like it's being folded in half in corners.

>drives like a fucking boat
Which is the entire fucking point. That's why people bought them.

You've obviously never been on a cross country road trip with some friends. (Because your autist ass doesn't have any)

For something like that, a Buick is perfection. Something that "handles" like your Mercedes or especially a harsh as fuck BMW is not.

When you're in Kansas blasting down I-70 at 90 miles per hour for 5 fucking hours at a clip, trust me, "feeling the road" is a horrible thing.

Who gives a fuck if it drives like a boat? It's not like it's designed for track use or auto-x. Usually you don't drive them hard enough to induce bodyroll. I'd take those Lay Z Boy seats over rock hard German leather any day of the week.

Oh and speaking of fucking bodyroll.... You people claim this as a technological marvel...

Yeah, if you build horridly shitty roads like the Americans do.

>no bench seat
>better

There are countries that build roads in shapes other than straight lines.

Why would you even expect performance out of a comfy land yacht?

With this type of car I'd be far more concerned about noise insulation, comfy bench seats, a column shifter, muh wood panel dash, those nice chrome knobs on the radio, and a big easy to hold steering wheel. It doesn't matter to me how fast it can corner or what its top speed is. It's not that kind of car.

Yacht for cruise, not for fast.

I really enjoy having the gearshift near the center console
>better feel when shifting
>more travel = less likely to go past your chosen gear
>can pretend I'm not an auto pleb

>comfy bench seats
kek

>comfy bench seats
You mean unsupportive old people living room sofa.
> wood panel dash
You mean plastic covered in wood-print vinyl stickers.
>those nice chrome knobs on the radio
You mean plastic dipped in chrome paint.

You know, I'd respect these cars if they were well engineered and built, but they derive literally all their comfort from god awfully mushy seats and a god awfully mushy suspension and otherwise only use the cheapest trickery to suggest luxury.

Yep, Pikes Peak and all the 1000's of other mountain roads are perfectly straight. Definitely need a F1 car to tackle your technical roads with turns.

Are the positions on the column somewhere? Or how the fuck do you know which is drive?
t.i europoor

When your country is minuscule you don't have enough space for long open roads. Not being able to enjoy the comfort of the finest landboats ever made is your own fault for being a filthy yuropoor. It's not our fault your tiny country needs retarded shit like """"corners"""".

You can feel the indents plus there's a indicator on the dash.

>plastic covered in wood-print vinyl stickers
>plastic dipped in chrome paint

Stop being poor and do a proper job restoring the fucking thing.

You know you have to get to the Autobahn first, right?

Also you managed to post one of twelve Autobahn sections in the entire country that can be converted to emergency airplane landing strips.

But that's how they came from the factory.

So you're allowed to have autistically straight and flat roads but we can't have the same to get to our nice mountain roads??

i'd expect it not to try and kill me if i made a last minute lane change or tried to take a gentle bend.

>Germans in charge of taking bends

Love how it's slower than a sub 200hp grocery getter.

Hahaha, laughable.
You have to be stupid to defend such a shit car.

>meanwhile at the same time

W126 is superior in all points.

Looks stiff and as shitty riding as a Kia with the bodyroll of an American land yacht.

>Americans in charge of driving in a straight line

too bad that SLS turns the ride to shit

the w116 and w126 arent as comfy, but they dont try to murder you when you evade the asian guy who stops suddenly outside the turn lane and then turns on his blinker

>automatic

I think it's the same autistic eurocuck that bitches in every landbagre thread about landbarges handling poorly. Some of us unironically like cars that handle like a wet mattress.

Also, Bud Lindemann is eternal GOAT

This one always gets me.

They may handle like a wet mattress but I'm pretty sure they're still faster than a 50hp Twingo around a track. Even old GM trucks I've driven could take turns at more than twice the speed limit without any drama.
