S-Class W223 Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W223) Facelift 2024

[Mr. Mercedes]

Nope, you were just proven wrong by your own words. Now I guess it’s a full T denial, delusional exit left. You stated that the Mercedes I6 and V8 burn the same amount of fuel because of your anecdotal evidence that doesn’t jive with other real world accounts. Actual testing. Not a lab. That’s the whole story. Must have been a mic drop because you’re now looking for an off ramp. Anecdotal doesn’t mean anything beyond you and you certainly can’t draw the conclusion that the I6 burns the same amount of fuel as the V8 in all situations based on your experience. Try again.

How do you have the strength?

How do you have the strength?

Are we actually arguing whether a V8 is more or less thirsty than a 6 cylinder?

 

[mr.Mister]

What part of other members share their experiences with actual evidence don’t you understand? So then no you have nothing. Just as I thought. Nope. There a lot terrible facts about Mercedes we all readily except and agree they need to improve upon. Yours in the other hand isn’t factual. It’s your opinion only and can’t cancel out a whole engine because of it. It’s nonsense.

M

You keep repeating 'evidence' like it’s a spell that makes opposing experiences disappear. I never claimed to cancel anything — I shared what I observed, and it clearly rattled you way more than it should’ve. That says everything.

So you can keep stamping your feet and crying 'not factual' while the rest of us just nod and move on.

If you think your approval is required for someone to share their own experience… I’ve got bad news for you.

Yep. Proof. Like most do when they make a claim like that? Let’s have it.

You keep asking for proof like a parrot that just learned one word. I already gave you context, logic, and clarity — but you weren’t looking to understand.

You were just looking for a hill to die on. Congratulations — you found it.

At 200km/h.

Nope. Try again. You mean like as opposed to an anecdotal parrot?

[Matski]

Wow.....

*slowly backs off*

It's like back in the Dalab days... (just without all the reports from Mercedes-centric members).

Two members with an immeasurable need to have the last word.

Nah, I mean the kind of parrot that only knows one word: 'proof'. Squawk louder, maybe someone will mistake it for intelligence.

 

[klier]

At 200km/h.

"At 200 km/h" is of course the most arbitrary BS you can think of. And nobody ever driver that fast outside of Germany. And even there you drive that in short bursts mostly.

A V8 consumes much more fuel, and that's pretty much the exact reason why they offer 6 cylinders too.

 

[Merc1]

Still no proof?

Oh boy this thread is going places now isn't it?

Exactly — but someone who hasn’t driven both just won’t get it.
Even if you drew him a picture… he’d still be yelling for proof! LOL.

 

[Matski]

Still no new personality?

In Merc1's defence, he only has one personality attached to his IP log.

 

[Merc1]

Still no new personality?

Vs multiples? Failing forward. Still no proof huh?

Ah yes — the 'still no proof' loop again. When the mind stalls, the mouth repeats. Appreciate the consistency, if nothing else.

 

[Swissbob]

TBH If you have fixed budget, would you seriously prefer a naked V8 to a loaded I6 or V6?

For 17k€ you can get a lot of options. (450 to 580)

I am not sure how I would decide, especially in countries with speed limit.

Which is exactly what you’re doing. Is there like a point now?
