Honestly, I don't know. I'm, not a car person. I don't think I've
driven either. However, the claim was made that the Buick is easier
to drive. Assuming that's true, on what grounds would you claim that
the Mercedes is better designed? especially in an industrial design
sense as opposed to a graphic design sense? Are there any criteria
that outweigh ease-of-use?
Note: if you simply think the premise is factually incorrect; i.e.
that the Mercedes is easier to drive; then this isn't really relevant
and we should probably kill this subthread now.
