Brands should stop sticking historical names on uninspired rubbish.
On board a completely different car than he actually thought, Marco Gorter talks to Michiel Willebrands about the past year. It will be a nice optimistic story.
There was a time when a Mercedes C-class AMG was guaranteed fodder for a hit. Big engines, lots of spectacle. But that was then. The new C-class is made from a completely different cloth. The fact that it is a plug-in hybrid is enough. But the extra weight ruins it a bit and the main figure (680 hp) appears to be only available to a limited extent in practice. And then Ford and Renault, which have to forcefully stick names from the past on cars that have nothing at all to do with their ‘predecessors’. But some new brands also do not excel in inspiration, while the rise of the electric car should offer opportunities to try something new. No, then the Dacia Sandero. A lesson in simplicity and ironically one of the best offers of this year.
