Does Mercedes Benz lose its prestige image because of competition from Tesla?
Let me tell you a nasty little secret. Over decades, Mercedes made its famous S Class exclusively with gas engines, ultra smooth gas engines, to be precise. Then some whackos went mad in Teheran, we had an oil crisis, and the Americanos demanded an S Class with a klutzy turbodiesel engine, and they got it, the Mercedes 300 SDL. A Mercedes S Class. With a Turbodiesel engine. With 5 cylinders. Whoah. Later, Mercedes kept the idea with the truck engine in the luxury sedan, but they skipped the stupid plan with the uneven cylinder number. So the later S classes were always also available with 6 cylinder Turbodiesels, sometimes even with 4 cylinder Turbodiesels (like a bloody VW Jetta). Okay, in 2012 Tesla launched the model S, with a noiseless electric motor instead of an engine which is based on frequent explosions. Soon hoards of Tesla fanbunnies began to complain about the oh-so-uncultivated IC engines and praised the silent Model S. Well, there is one slight problem: The model S is junk. Its sound insulation is so lousy that at 80 mph every single S class* made since 2012 is quieter inside than a Model S, even the Turbodiesel cars. (*I do not include the AMG models with their roaring sports exhausts. They are for pimps with small penisses, so they have to be loud) Mercedes simply builds better made cars than Tesla. And they sell far more of them;-) Note: Rethoric questions are a dangerous thing on Quora.
Are there any German cars that rival the reliability of a Toyota or Honda?
This is my very first answer on Quora, im not sure if i am supposed to answer with fact or experience. My personal experience with Germans cars, particularly the VW brand, is that they are reliable. Apart from general maintenance, I have never had a days trouble with the VW’s, Audis or Opels/Vauxhauls that i have owned. Then again I have never had any trouble with any of my cars including Toyota and Honda. But i only drive manual and VW and Audi seem to be producing terrible Automatic transmissions. Car manufacturers dont build their vehicles to break on purpose. the reliability of a vehicle can sometimes be determined by the owner and the exact model/derivative . I think i better question would be durability. In terms Of Durability, Mercedes is built tough. In my family, even though we had new cars we held onto a VW Jetta for atleast 20 years, it was too reliable to let go.
What is the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal (Sept. 2015)?
UPDATE, NOV 9, 2015: my theory was right! VW engineers cheated because they couldn't meet the demands of former CEO Martin Winterkorn: ,VW engineers confess cheating to lower CO2 emissions, Volkswagen: a different theory on what happened [UPDATED Oct 8: ,Volkswagen’s U.S. chief blames emissions scandal on “individuals,” via Reuters,, supporting my theory.] The utterly mind-blowing, inexplicable implosion of Volkswagen, the number 1 car company (by sales) in the world, has shocked not just the entire auto industry, Top Gear fans, and auto enthusiasts generally -- never mind VW owners -- but every person on the planet not living under a rock as well. This isn't just a big deal with respect to the auto industry; it isn't even just a big deal with respect to the environmental harm such deceit has surely caused; it's a big deal with respect to the general trust -- or lack thereof -- consumers should place in the companies with which we deal on a daily basis. First, a quick primer on what the heck just happened, and what it all means. What the heck just happened? It appears that a certain model of diesel engine used by VW was unable to meet the incredibly stringent emissions laws of the US, and so a cheat was implemented to work around it. Basically, the engine software could detect when the car was subjected to emissions testing -- i.e., strapped to a dyno, sensors attached, etc. -- and it (probably) retarded engine torque (and thus power, as power is simply a function of torque, and with it, fuel efficiency as well) in an effort to reduce emissions to the required level and successfully pass the test. In short, a software cheat choked the car to reduce emissions while testing, and allowed the car to breathe freely when not testing. Then, when the testing was completed, the software would revert the car to its ordinary operating parameters with increased torque and improved gas mileage, along with exhaust fumes far above the legal limit. In short, the software choked the car to reduce emissions (and power and fuel efficiency) while testing, and allowed the car to breathe freely -- producing more power, with improved fuel efficiency, and of course increased toxic emissions -- when not testing. What are these emissions, exactly? The exhaust vapors of automobiles are pretty nasty stuff. As a result, gas (petrol) and diesel cars alike have complicated systems to cleanse as much of the toxic chemical compounds as possible before they exit the exhaust pipes. All things being equal, there is a cost associated with such cleansing apparatus, typically manifested in the form of reduced power and gas mileage. There are two main chemical compounds that really matter: CO2 (carbon dioxide) and NOx (basically, any oxides of nitrogen, e.g., NO and NO2). While CO2 is a huge contributor to greenhouse gases, NOx wreaks havoc on air quality, and is the primary culprit in the formation of smoggy air. What are the legal requirements for diesel engines in the US? The US is notoriously strict on emissions -- whether diesel or gas -- and our threshold is a staggering ,10 times, lower than in Europe (excluding the new Euro Emissions 6 (EU6) standards), or roughly 0.025 g/km NOx. VW's diesel engines produce a whopping 40 times the legal limit of NOx. ,So how much NOx do VW's diesel engines produce with the software cheat? A whopping 40 ,times, the legal limit, or roughly 1 g/km NOx. To put it another way, a 100 km drive -- roughly 62 miles -- would produce a staggering 100 g -- basically one 3.5 oz shot glass -- worth of noxious NOx. How are these emissions reduced? There are two methods in use today, the most common of which is a urea-based solution which serves as a final cleansing agent just before the exhaust exits the vehicle. It works well, but the downside is that the urea solution needs to be replaced every so often, typically when performing an oil change. It's also a somewhat bulky, cumbersome apparatus, and ads several hundred pounds of weight to a vehicle. You might call it a sub-optimal hack solution, then. But it works. And for the emissions gods, that's all that matters. The other method is effectively a "trap" system which dispenses with the urea solution entirely and simply collects the offending chemical compounds before they exit the vehicle. The trap mechanism sounds great; why would any car manufacturer ever use the urea solution method? Simple. The trap mechanism ,sounds, great, but, well, ,isn't ,great at all. Indeed, if you look at all the other car manufacturers that sell diesel in the US -- Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Audi, and a handful of American cars -- they use the urea solution instead. They couldn't get the trap solution to work. Why didn't VW just use the urea solution? VW did use it for some of their larger diesel engines in use in their larger vehicles. But for their smaller cars -- Beetle, Golf, Jetta, Passat, Audi A3 (VW owns Audi), and, in Europe, certain Seat and Skoda cars -- they used a smaller 2.0 liter diesel engine with which, presumably, they wanted to save weight and complexity. VW wanted to offer the simplest solution possible, ,i.e.,, something without the urea solution; something you never even had to think about. Also, although the replacement of the urea fluid is a simple thing performed for free by the dealership, and almost always concurrently with an oil change so that it doesn't in any way inconvenience or otherwise adversely affect the car owner, it just ,seemed ,like an added layer of maintenance, just another ,thing ,that had to be done. So for the smaller, less expensive, more mass market cars, VW wanted to offer the simplest solution possible, ,i.e.,, something without the urea solution; something you never even had to think about. Who else uses the trap method instead of the urea solution? To my knowledge, nobody: no other car manufacturers have managed to design a potent, high gas mileage diesel engine utilizing the trap method capable of meeting the stringent emissions regulations. So VW was the only car manufacturer to pull this off then? Yes. Except that they didn't really pull it off at all. It really was too good to be true. It didn't work. Hence the software cheat. But did the ploy work at least? Did VW sell more diesels in the US than other car manufacturers? Absolutely. VW has sold more diesel cars in the US than any other car manufacturer. The combination of hybrid-calibre fuel efficiency plus strong, torquey engines, immensely far cruise ranges, and trouble-free maintenance, not to mention bullet-proof, forever-lasting engines, finally started to catch on and overwrite diesel's dirty, smelly past which effectively ended in the US in the 1980s. And what kind of MPG numbers are we talking about? A diesel VW Golf TDI is rated at around 43 mpg freeway, good for an impressive 550 miles of range, and offers an incredibly strong 236 lb/ft of torque which has no problem masking the seemingly tiny 140 hp. Weirdly, real-world gas mileage (and thus, range) was significantly higher, often in the mid- to high-50 MPG, offering a staggering 700 miles of cruise range, even at 70 mph. But weirdly -- and perhaps now we know why -- real-world gas mileage (and thus, range) was significantly higher, often in the mid- to high-50 MPG, offering a staggering 700 miles of cruise range, even at 70 mph. If indeed the software cheat functioned by retarding engine power and/or increasing fuel consumption, then this would explain the discrepancy between the EPA MPG claims and the oft-cited real-world driving results by diesel VW owners. Ok so what's this new theory? As of today, VW's CEO Martin Winterkorn has just resigned, and although effectively admitting guilt, the claim from VW top brass is that they simply didn't know. First, even if they didn't know, they ,should, have known. Still, it's a curious thing worth pondering. Is it really ,possible, they didn't know? VW's past, present, and future, have always been about diesel, not hybrid Diesel is by far and away the fuel of choice for vehicles in Europe, largely due to the stupendous taxes levied on gas (petrol), which makes diesel relatively cheap in comparison. That, and all things being equal, a small (modern) diesel engine will usually offer a better driving experience than a comparable gasoline engine: vastly more torque offers immediate acceleration from a stoplight and during passing maneuvers around town; around 20-30% greater fuel efficiency; engines that will go hundreds of thousands of miles without failing; and, best of all, diesel vehicles are typically less expensive than comparable hybrids. Win, win, and win, then. VW has been floundering in the US for quite some years, and with the spiked demand for more fuel efficient cars, has been hell bent on making a name for itself as a more economical -- and better driving -- alternative to hybrids with its new so-called "Clean Diesel" TDI-badged cars. Combined with the legendary "German driving dynamics" offered by even the most pedestrian of VW's offerings, it appeared VW's strategy was working. VW's top brass was adamant that its engineering team figure out how to make the urea-free "trap" mechanism work while all others had failed. There was just one problem: the icing on the cake was to be VW's urea-free "trap" mechanism, a seemingly impossible engineering accomplishment that VW -- and VW alone -- was determined to master while all others had failed. VW's top brass was adamant that its engineering team figure out how to make it work. Except that VW couldn't make it work. Try as they might, VW's brilliant engineers simply couldn't make the trap mechanism work as well as the urea solution to capture or cleanse those noxious vapors produced from diesel combustion. Not by a long shot; indeed, as has since been reported, these cars have been belching out ,40 times ,the legal limit. "Vee must cheat the system. I know! Let us write some software to trick the emissions test! ,Yah! Das ist eine gute Idee!," But still the question remains, how could VW have authorized such deceit? Can you imagine a bunch of VW executives sitting round a table saying ",Nein!, This is not good enough! Ok then, fine: vee must cheat the system. I know! Let us write some software to trick the emissions test! ,Yah! Das ist eine gute Idee!," Fake it until you make it? That's a comically absurd scenario to contemplate, so I'd like to propose an alternative: what if the engineers had no choice? What if VW was pressuring them to such a degree -- with threat of losing their jobs even? -- to solve the emissions trap mechanism that, in a last ditch effort of frustration with what was apparently a physically impossible engineering task to begin with, they basically threw their collective hands up in the air and said ",Scheiße! ,This is impossible, it ,cannot ,be done ... ok screw it, let's just fake it." What if the engineering team threw their hands up in the air and said ",Scheiße! ,This is impossible, it ,cannot ,be done ... ok screw it, let's just fake it." Isn't it at least within the realm of possibility that VW executives ,did not ,in fact know what was going on, and it was merely out of an act of desperation under threat of losing their jobs that the engineers finally just caved in and did whatever they could? Isn't it possible that the engineers simply cheated to appease a totally irrational demand by VW and to keep their jobs? Obviously, this wouldn't in any way insulate VW executives -- again, even if they didn't know, they certainly ,should ,have known -- but it's a fascinating theory to consider, and certainly at least gives pause to wonder if there is in fact a limit to how hard one should push their team, especially when the goal is essentially impossible. Then again, Elon Musk seems to have accomplished the seemingly impossible again (Tesla) and again (SpaceX) and again (SolarCity), without running afoul of any laws or regulations. So what happens now? Obviously, VW will be required to either repair or remove entirely from the streets all affected vehicles, some 500,000 in the US alone, and potentially up to 11 ,million, if similarly cheating vehicles are determined to exist in Europe and the rest of the world. There are three possible solutions: Remove the software cheat: this should cause the vehicles to comply with emissions regulations, but almost certainly with reduced power and fuel efficiency. Interestingly though, maybe this is precisely why the EPA MPG ratings for diesel VWs in the US is so much lower than their real-world examples. Install a hacked-together urea solution fix in the trunk: highly improbable as it would likely cost more and take longer than just removing the software cheat, not to mention devour valuable trunk space. Buy back all the cars: also highly improbable due to the absurd costs involved. And what about the owners of affected VW vehicles? It's an interesting question, and the answer is not immediately apparent. Assuming the most likely scenario -- option 1 above, where the software is simply removed -- chances are the vehicles will simply experience a gas mileage drop (and perhaps a power reduction as well). If, after the imminent recall, the fuel efficiency simply drops to what the EPA had claimed all along, then has the consumer really been harmed? But because real-world gas mileage is already around 10-20% higher than the EPA claims, it's conceivable that the vehicles will now simply "suffer" gas mileage ratings that are merely equal to the actual EPA claims anyway, ,i.e., 43 rather than the mid-50s. And if this happens, then do consumers really have any complaint? After all, the fuel efficiency they were enjoying until now was pleasantly surprisingly far higher than the EPA claims anyway; if, after the imminent recall, the fuel efficiency drops to precisely what the EPA had claimed all along, then has the consumer really been harmed? Not likely. Speaking of consumers, what do they need to do now? Nothing. Just hang tight, wait for VW or your local dealership to notify you. And what about VW? They will weather this storm, more or less, never mind the sheer cliff traced out by their recent stock drop. And while the billions of dollars in fines will certainly hurt -- likely to be 30% more than their operating profit -- the real harm will come from lost consumer trust: after all, VW's slogan was "Truth in engineering." Oops. Everything I write will henceforth be collected on my new blog, ,Innovately - Stuff that matters. Tech, electric cars, self-driving cars, clean energy, aviation, and more., And because not everything I write ends up on Quora, I hope you'll check it out and share with your friends!
What is a reliable car I can buy for a cheap price? My budget is around $6-8k and I’m gonna be traveling around town mostly (but on the highway once or twice a month).
If you are willing to have a somewhat older car, there are many out there that are reliable for basic transportation. Go to the library and check out CONSUMER REPORTS from about 8–10 years ago, also about five years ago. Look for brands that are well known for reliability, like VW, Honda, Toyota, Nissan. Look at the cheaper models—Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, VW Jetta, etc. and look at their repair reports after 5–8 years. I needed to get such a car for my daughter, who lives in Los Angeles and I live in Austin, TX, so I couldn’t be around when she needed something fixed. I wound up getting her a very nice, certified 2008 VW Jetta (this was in 2015) for $7k, free, clear and out the door. I had it carefully checked by my personal mechanic BEFORE I BOUGHT IT! No significant problems. I DROVE it from Austin to LA on the premise that if anything was likely to break, that was enough of a trip to break it. Perfect trip. She’s had the car for several years now and has had no problem with it—in LA traffic. So do your research, shop carefully and you should find a nice, serviceable car to suit you. Don’t depend on Quora for your decision—there are too many variable that we can’t advise you on.
Which car should I buy, a 2021 VW Jetta (R-Line Trim) or 2021 Hyundai Elantra (N-Line OR Limited Trim) or 2021 Mazda 3 (Preffered Package AWD Trim)?
Please man up, do some research, and make your own decision. Each is a defensible choice. We do not know your situation, locale, finances, or anything else regarding your decision process. Hopefully you do not need Quora to decide what to eat for dinner. There are plenty of reviews and comparison tests from experts to help form a decision based on YOUR needs, not our biases. Put in the work rather than seeking a lazy answer or someone to tell you what to do. Please use Quora bandwidth wisely.
What is market segmentation, and why do businesses need to segment their markets?
Segmentation is a way of dividing your customers or potential customers. In my business, we create ‘buyer personas’ which may go something like this. Say you are an auto dealers ship, you have four types of buyers: Mr. Mid-life crisis, divorced, trying hard to impress, lots of money - Convertible high-performance sports car buyer Ms just to her driving license - most likely a VW Jetta buyer Mr likes doing yard work - four by four with big tires Ms spends too long writing answers on quora - something cheap and reliable, maybe second-hand
How much can your life change in just one year?
My first Quora post. Life has taught me that it’s full of surprises. Some set goals, other just live day by day, changing something small everyday and then looking year back and noticing the changes and learning from them. I've been thinking and talking about this topic on multipe occasions. Especially when someone says, ,“would you like to go on vacation with me in… a year?”, My answer is always the same ,“I don't even know where I will end up tomorrow…” ,So… I'm sharing my rollercoaster of a life from past 4 years. 2015 - 2016, - Got engaged. Found out great news - I'm pregnant. Moved to Brooklyn. Quit my job to raise a baby. Set wedding date. 2016 - 2017, - Found out fiance has been cheating the whole time while with us. Cancelled the wedding. Tried to work on relationship. Moved to Lincoln, NE to raise a child. Went to Vipassana courses to clear my head. 2017 - 2018, - Found Graphic Designer's job (finally!). Got a one bedroom apartment. Left my partner. Got a brand new VW Jetta that I totalled within 3 months. No one got hurt and insurance paid it all off. Call me crazy but I saw that as a blessing, financially. Bought a $500 Chevy a week later (great purchase). 2018, - Still working for the same company. Building an online store for their product which I will be managing. Still a single mom. Learning many great things about love, life and people. My girl is 2.5 now and she's incredible. Life's a true rollercoaster!
I'm leasing a 2020 VW Jetta SE for 39 months, 12k mileage per year, 2750 $ down payment, 236 $ a month, including tax and everything. Is this a good deal or a bad deal?
A Quora writer made a good point, never have it set for a down payment. Because if the car is totaled by a wreck or whatever that down payment is lost, the insurance just pays the company the lease vehicle worth. Meanwhile if you had no down payment and just had a slightly higher monthly to account for it then it’s not an immediate drain and you aren’t out that big sum of money if a wreck or whatever happens. For the lease of the car if that covers your mileage well enough the price as it stands doesn’t seem too bad if that is a mid sized car like the Ford Fusion. My cousin got a similar low lease but I only know for like low 200 monthly, not any more details other than SE model with leather etc. it doesn’t hurt to shop around to see if there isn’t a better deal. The ford fusions with the 2.0 turbo are very nice cars.
