오른손의 좋은 세상만들기

모트라인 최근에 여러개 계속 봤더니 자동차는 풀 악셀로 쏴~야지하는 생각이 팍팍드네.

기사도 팍팍 눈에 들어오고 이게 그렇게 좋다며 하는 생각도 들고 가격은 싸네~ 하는 생각까지. 이러면 안돼지~

확실히 사람은 누구랑 친하게 지내냐가 상당히 중요하다. 신부님이랑 목사님이랑 친하게 지내야지...

벤츠가 AMG를 비교적 저렴한 모델로 내려보내서 사람들은 유혹하고 있다는 내용입니다. 자동차는 참 잘 만드는것 같습니다. 유지비용이 너무 비싸서 일반사람들에게는 전혀 어울리지 않다고 생각합니다.

It’s all very orderly. The C450 AMG Sedan starts at $50,800. That buys you the C450’s bi-turbo V6 with 362 hp. That’s a rung above the C300 (241 hp, 2.0-liter I4, for $40,950); but a nearly equal interval below Mercedes-AMG C63 (469 hp, 4.0-liter V8, for $65,250). Alfred Sloan would approve.

But the big news, and your best friend if you sell Mercedes-Benz, is the GLE Coupe, the dolphin-backed, four-door sport crossover with the optional and mega-bratty 22-inch wheels. Yes sir, you can park it here. I’ll just tell these diners to move.
