Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- Zerofoo I know quite a few early 2000s Benz customers that became mid 2000s Lexus customers.
- VoGhost This news, plus a $4K tax reduction make a used Bolt compelling.
- Fred I bet the car companies spend a few million every year figuring out what to name their cars. The sad thing is except for some internet commenters, no one really cares. Worse it can tarnish the name forever, see Dodge Hornet
- SCE to AUX Swinger, because commitment to names doesn't matter anymore. OK - it's not a 90s name, but some things never go out of style.

Beautiful car and from what I know the NA AMG V8 is extremely solid as is the 5-speed automatic. If you've got the stomach for expensive maintenance and probably some electrical and suspension glitches, it's a awesome car for Corolla money.
I dipped my toe into German engineering with a 07 E550 in 2011 when it had 60k on the clock. It was a great car until it wasn't. I cut my losses when I traded it for a new Ram pickup truck. I don't regret the experience, but I won't buy another German car.
