I've a soft spot for a Brera (see my spot in another article). I'm not really sure about the Vitara, not driven one, but Suzuki is a great make. Sensible. Defo.
I wouldn't say my Mercedes is for old people? I love my Mercedes and I love mid 2000s Mercedes styling. Its the perfect mix of modern styling, classic luxury and lots of elegance. And if you opt for the AMG-package, (WIP in my case) you get a bit of aggression that blends in perfectly. The W203 still looks attractive 13 years after leaving the factory. The same can't be said about many other cars that have aged badly.
Sadly most of these are driven by Eastern Block folk, who bought them cheap, don't maintain them and they drive like idiots. Same applies to BMWs. They aren't even old people's cars, cause every grandpa I see in Germany has a brand new Mercedes/ Audi/ BMW, or VW. Very few old folk in Bavaria drive cars older than 2010...
I drove an AMG around the track at Mercedes Benz World. Incredible engineering and a ferocious drive but it does exactly what you tell it to. I agree I prefer the mid 2000s styling. The latest ones look as though they're trying too hard. Maybe...

What about VW drivers? 😁
It's not the drivers ...
I wrote drivers instead of owners. I think I need some sleep :-)
This is my Brera, but it’s being replaced very, very soon with a 2016 Suzuki Vitara (bit more sensible I guess) - thoughts on the latter?

It certainly is. I find them intriguing. I'd love to drive one!
Where is lancia?
Broken down. Or sitting in the car park at Brooklands making a lot of noise.
