cruiser647 Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 You in the States Caveman? Didn't realise. There was a program on TV last night about the US's love of SUVs! Quite funnny. It said that the US made ones are all based on old pick-up trucks, do 12 mpg (making your A8's MPG look good) and that they are not as safe as the occupants think! Personally, not for me!

[/ QUOTE ] I had a Nissan Navara 4X4 pickup prior to the A8 the thing that made me sell it was watching a guy put a Toyota land cruiser up on 2 wheels, he was doing about 30mph turned the wheel to the left then flicked it to the right and up it went I thought christ if it goes over that easy what would it do at 70mph on a motorway if you had to take emergency evasive action so I got rid ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe original Range Rovers suffer from that. And we all know about the Suzuki Rhino job (hardly an SUV/Pick-up/anything remotely useful) And of course the original A-Class!

Huss Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 To be honest ttandka my very first thought was precisley that I've always been a fan of the flat faced AMG wheels for instance. However, having seen what I believe were the same wheels on a Merc SL last week, I have to concede that they looked superb. So no complaints from me Could they have been the same - they looked VERY similar? regards huss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A8_Tony Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Hey Huss, not a problem. They are a pain to clean sometimes though. The wheels you saw could have been the same, they are Merc aftermarkets after all . Lorinser LM-6's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
