Dialing into the morning standup during commute:

Let's be real: this is so your boss (in his MB with his MB money) can micromanage you, even on the go!

This is a CLA, not an E or S Class. The base CLA costs about as much as the average new car sold in the US. This is like the first promotion, I'm going to buy a car car.

The average new car costs about half what I spent on my house just 6 years ago…

First having your flagship EV tank because it looks like a shoe, using shitty touch controls on the steering wheel, wanting to release a rounded G-wagon and now this. Which idiot green lights these decisions? I miss Zetche…
