L405 Range Rovers (2012-2022) have an issue which could give the Owners a considerable amount of headaches; JLR made a very questionable engineering choice by using steel which is prone to rust to make the drainage tube for the panoramic sunroof, once this fails or gets clogged due to rust -Water will seep down the headliners & B pillars and drench the rear passenger footwells and potentially destroy electronics like the Amplifier, parking sensor modules,Camera modules, rear entertainment system & Body control modules in addition to other critical components.

All these badges are just a marketing ploy now. Previously, they meant engine displacement. The higher the number, the better. And so, in the consumer's subconscious, the notion that the higher the number, the better.
Maybach vehicles with the "680" designation should have had a standardized V12-based powertrain across the lineup, just like the long-wheelbase S680 Maybach.
Placing a "680" badge on V8 vehicles like the SL680 and GLS680 shouldn't have been allowed by Mercedes' marketing department. It makes it look like an obvious cash grab.

Electric cars are fine for city driving. But if you often do long trips or travel between cities with few charging points, a hybrid or conventional engine (petrol or diesel) is the better choice.

The W166 GLE and pre facelift W223 S Class had timeless designs.
Now Mercedes is putting its 3 pointed star logo in the lights, filling cabins with screens and downsizing the GLE 350 from a V6 to a 4 cylinder. More tech, less character. The latest facelift is a downgrade.

An air cooled, naturally aspirated flat six, manual gearbox and unmistakable 964 DNA.
Strosek gave it a wider, more purposeful stance without losing the Porsche identity. The wheels and that colour are perfect. It's a proper analogue masterpiece and a collector's dream.
