Electric Mercedes C-Class goes on sale and production of new GLC kicks off

06 May 2026
Mercedes-Benz expands its electric car lineup with the new C-Class saloon and electric GLC SUV.

Sort by:

im not into SUVs because they look so boring. Expensive to
Maintain but the new GLC is a game changer for me ! An SUV that doesn’t look like a boring box, with great looking sloping back. Also
Love the internal looks - hopefully the tan trim pictured is available and not the usual common as garden black.

When things get seemingly "too expensive", enter "Credit". Government will free up credit (via some entity - Fannie and Freddy Mac for housing, Department of Education for college tuition, etc), and will drop rates. This is done under very moral headlines like "everyone deserve a shot at American Dream" (owning a house), or "everyone deserves a shot at brighter future" (everyone gets a student loan for higher education). Now, all of a sudden, 30-40% of population can "afford" it, which creates demand. If demand is constrained by other factors (e.g. higher education requires strong math skills) - they remove obstacles by creating majors that do not require math (gender studies, decolonization of theater, etc).

With demand in place, prices rise and people get slowly economically enslaved. Those that have nothing - jump on it because they got nothing to lose, others have to follow suit to complete with three horses of nothing-to-losers.

Now you will vote exclusively for the party that promises to kick the can down the road. This locks you into no-choice-democracy (here in US the choice is between R and D but both are corrupted thieves).

But why go to all this trouble? Well, the winners are, as always, entities that get first dibs on massive debt at very low interest - super wealthy financiers. While everybody was too worried about MIC (military industrial complex), FIC rose (financial industrial complex). Investment banks grab loans, invest into assets (companies) while general populace pays personal debt.

The net effect: people are servicing their small debts and own no assets (things that make money while you sleep, stocks, bonds). Bankers (FIC) consolidate all assets at near-zero interest and inequality grows parabolically.

Game, set, match: majority is forced to work until death... for the benefit of super wealthy elites. The division is frozen by "access to assets". No laws broken. Everything is done cleanly.

I truly wish you will live to tell a better story than Americans.

I’m from Germany too, and it’s a fact that most of the cars produced here are intended for corporate fleets. That’s why they charge exorbitant prices for inferior quality. The private sector no longer plays a role in Germany; the average person works just to pay the bills, and only Arab and Turkish money launderers drive around in AMGs.

No, that is a lot of money, too much

Who is the buyer here except business? This is faar more then the average person earns
Less then 1% of people can afford this car here in Germany and then they have other options to consider too
Why build this in the first place, makes no sense

For half the price I could maybe understand
