Paul Harrold of the Sons of Speed sits in for Jill this week. Tom opened the show noting Ram's decision to return the Hemi-brand V8 to the 1500 powertrain lineup. Ram had replaced the engine with a more powerful and efficient turbocharged six, but customers have rejected the new motor. Still in the first segment, Paul recaps his time in the 2025 Rolls-Royce Phantom II. Paul and Sons of Speed partner Brendan Appel share a video of their test drive of the ultra-luxury British sedan below. In the second segment Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions joins the show. Sam shared his insights into the new, Jeff Bezos-backed Slate Auto EV start-up. The new company is scheduled to have vehicles ready to sell by the end of 2026. Sam also shared his thoughts on the autonomous Tesla Cybercab. The 2-seat, driverless taxi—at least in concept form—has no steering wheel. Tesla plans to have Cybercabs operating in Austin, Texas in the near future. In the last segment, Paul is subjected to Tom's “Dead or Alive for ‘25” quiz. 

“Whoever runs your schedule is the most important person in your world as Leader. You need time to think, time to study and time to get the things done you came to leadership to do. Lose control of the schedule and you will fail.” That is a quote from former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. And it strikes at the heart of mastering time management. Today's episode explores why your calendar is your most important productivity tool.  You can subscribe to this podcast on:  Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN   Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin The 2025 Summer Sale  Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Time Sector System 5th Year Anniversary The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script | 373 Hello, and welcome to episode 373 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. Whoever controls your calendar controls you. They can (and often will) destroy your plans for the day, prevent you from doing your most important work and be the reason you fail in your career goals.  If you are a leader, you will likely have plans for your team. In order to implement those plans and move them to completion, you will need time. It's up to you to find that time.  Top leaders understand this. They are very strict with their calendars. Nobody but themselves has control of it. And, probably the most important factor of all, they have the confidence to cancel appointments if those appointments do not align with their weekly or daily strategic plan.  And yes, it's a confidence thing. Nobody, not even your boss, really has control over your time. You always have the option to negotiate an appointment or say no.  In this week's episode, I will share some ideas you can use to get control of your calendar and have the confidence to negotiate appointments and/or say no. So, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Karen. Karen asks, Hi Carl, I lead a team of sixteen people and am struggling to get my work done because my boss and team are always demanding meetings with me. Do you have any tips on protecting time for important work when you don't have control of your calendar? Hi Karen, thank you for your question.  This can appear to be a difficult change to make. Particularly if your team and bosses have become conditioned to you being available whenever they need you.  One of most powerful lessons I learned in my early career was from the so—called “my office door is always open” concept. For those of you not familiar with this concept, it began in the late 80s or early 90s (possibly earlier). This was where bosses used to tell their employees my office door is always open. You can come and talk to me at anytime.  Nice concept. It gave the impression that your boss was approachable. Yet in reality, it was not really a practical way to operate.  It meant that bosses were constantly being interrupted—well, those that we not scary, anyway, The two most productive bosses I had in my early career did follow this policy, yet with one addition. That was to tell us that when their door was closed they were not to be disturbed.  One of those bosses, would close his door every day around 2 pm. He would then use that time to get his most important work done. David, had a secretary, who would hold his calls too. If you needed David between two and four, you had to go through his secretary, Michaela and Michaela protected David's time ruthlessly.  Yet, for the other times in the day, David was available. He'd walk around the office from time to time asking if we were okay. He made himself available.  What happened, was if we needed David for anything, we knew we had to catch him before 2 pm or wait until after 4 pm.  I don't recall anyone complaining. The Managing Partner of the firm respected it. And so did David's clients—he was a partner in the law firm I worked at.  The key to this working was David's consistency. His team, bosses and clients all knew that David would not be available between two and four.  Since then, every productive person I have met, has operated something very similar. They have periods of time in the day where they are not accessible. In that time they are doing their most important work. That period of time is generally at the same time each day.  I remember, once being on a training course and the instructor, told us she would be available at any time after 11:00 am if we had any questions.  That's it. A simple sentence. “Available at anytime after 11:00 am”. I don't recall any one of us on that training course ever trying to contact her before 11:00 am.  Now, it might not be possible for you to cut yourself off from the outside world at the same time each day—although we all do this when we are sleeping and the world doesn't end, does it?  A lot of this depends on the job you do. I've mentioned before in this podcast the best salesperson I've ever worked with, Claire.  Claire would never be available between 9:00 and 10:30 am. It was during this time she was on the phones prospecting and following up customers. That one strategy was the difference between her and every other salesperson in that company. She outsold her nearest colleague two to one most months.  We worked a nine hour day in that sales job, and Claire was unavailable for just ninety minutes. She was in charge of her diary. That still left her with seven-and-a-half hours where she was available.  So, Karen, the place to begin is to ask yourself how much time do you need each day to stay on top of your work?  Given that a managerial role is largely about communicating with a team and bosses, you will likely need to be available most of your working day. Yet, you will still have some individual work to do. So, how much time do you need to complete that work each week?  You will only be able to work with averages. You will not be able to be specific about how much time you need each week. You're human. Sometimes we are on fire and can plough through a lot of work. Other days, we're tired and anything we do is sluggish and slow.  By working with averages, you're still getting work done and when you are on fire you can catch up.  For instance, on average, I need around 14 hours a week to create my content. This means each day I protect two hours for content creation where nobody can interrupt me. I then have an extra hour or so in the afternoons I keep flexible for finishing off any work.  I allow no more than twenty one hours of meetings each week. 90% of the time that is more than enough for the meetings and coaching sessions I have each week.  I know if I allow more than 21 hours, the additional admin cost and lost time for critical work will mean I have to work late nights and Saturday just to catch up. Not something I am prepared to do.  Earlier, I alluded to “negotiating” appointments.  Imagine you're in the market to buy a Rolls Royce car. (I said imagine). If you call the Rolls Royce dealership, you're going to have to negotiate a day and time. The “sales process” for buying a Rolls Royce is not your typical process. It's an experience.  You're not just buying a typical car. These days, you're buying a unique bespoke car. The salesperson you talk with will need time to go through all the panelling options, Exterior colours and interior seat fabrics, and even the type of material you want your dashboard made from.  The person you speak with when making your appointment, will negotiate a time to visit the showroom. That's part of the experience.  Now if you were in the market to buy a Ford, Toyota, Hyundai or VW, and call to make an appointment, you can name your day and time. The salespeople will very likely accept your first day and time.  Now which experience would leave you feeling special?  If you think about your readiness to accept any appointment at any time, what does that say about you?  Negotiating your appointments elevates your status in the mind of the person wishing to make an appointment with you. The harder it is to get an appointment with you, the more likely you will have a favourable outcome. It's the “you must be important if it's difficult to make an appointment with you”. Try getting an appointment with Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai or Satya Nadala. It's not that they don't do appointments, it's just they restrict the number of meetings they are available for each day and the meetings they do attend must count.  So, if you protect 9:30 to 11:00 am each morning, if someone wants to have a meeting with you during that time, you would say could we meet at 11:30 am instead? 9 times out of 10 your suggested time will be accepted. If not, the person wanting to meet you will likely suggest an alternative time.  If you cannot find a suitable time, then you will have to use your protected time. But with this strategy, it will be very rare that you need to do that.  I promise you, if you do this a few times, your confidence will rapidly improve and you will find that your focus time blocks will be protected.  The challenge we all face today is we feel we must be available at all times for whoever wants to communicate with us. If it's not Teams or Zooms calls, it's instant messages and email. The trick is to become less available.  Be like the Rolls Royce salesperson. Make getting an appointment with you part of the experience. If it's a little harder to get an appointment with you, the person you're meeting is going to be much more open to finding a solution with you there and then, instead of scheduling another meeting with you to “sort the details out”.  Ask yourself, what the worst that could happen if you “negotiate” with the person wanting to meet with you? The worst is they refuse your suggested time and insist you meet them at their preferred time. At that point you can accept.  Yet, I can promise you, the majority of people you negotiate times with will accept your time. The time they chose was completely random anyway. No matter who they are, your boss, your most important customer or whatever, they will thank you for taking the initiative and suggesting a time.  I will end with a recent example of this. I am in the process of changing my car as the lease on my current one is expiring in September. We called the dealership to arrange a test drive in a car I was interested in, and the sales manager informed us that this week they were fully booked up, but they had an opening on Thursday or Friday afternoon next week.  I was both impressed and relieved. Impressed because he did not jump at the chance and suggest we come down that afternoon or tomorrow. I had a sense of scarcity. Relieved because he took the decision for making the appointment out of our hands.  We arranged 1pm the following Thursday and when we arrived, the car was on the forecourt ready and waiting for us. A very impressive experience.  So, there you go, Karen. Don't be afraid to negotiate your appointments and meetings. Build confidence in negotiating interruptions from your team and protect sufficient time for getting your core work done.  Thank you for your question and and thank you to you too. It just remains for me to wish you all a very very productive week.   

Prince William and Aunt Sophie's rare joint outing at the Royal Cornwall Show had everyone buzzing as they celebrated rural life with gin, farming initiatives, and plenty of laughs. Their appearance highlighted their shared commitment to the Duchy of Cornwall and their growing public bond. Meanwhile, Kate Middleton's return to royal duties after her half-term break brings fresh insight into her balanced approach to family and monarchy. Despite overwhelmingly positive press, Kate's “ruthless” discipline and stoic resilience sparked new royal commentary.Prince William also earned accolades from conservationists, including Robert Irwin, for his environmental advocacy. Yet, not all press was so glowing: Meghan Markle's infamous twerking video continues to dominate headlines, while the Sussexes are under fire for their inconsistent messaging. Is it a PR disaster? Or just another stunt?Finally, Buckingham Palace's release of royal gifts adds a quirky touch to this week's royal coverage, featuring everything from a £329,000 Rolls-Royce to an Amazonian feather crown. Join us as we break down the week's royal highs and lows—from farm visits to twerking, and everything in between.(For uninterrupted, ad-free access to this program, visit Caloroga.com/plus!

Helping the next generation achieve their full potential doesn't just take commitment from their parents or carers, or from professionals like teachers. It takes, as the saying goes, a village.

Walter Owen – kun kaldet W.O. – var den yngste af ni børn. Derfor protesterede hans velhavende forældre ikke, da han som 16-årig droppede ud af skolen og gik i lære som fyrbøder på et damplokomotiv.Han finder dog selv ud af, at der ikke er megen karriere i at skovle kul og læser følgelig lidt til ingeniør på King's College i London (uden dog at få eksamen). Men som alle raske drenge, født med mønt på lommen, kører han motorløb og lærer sig et-og-andet om motorer.Det ender med stempler i aluminium, hastighedsrekorder, noget med lettere flymotorer og et ret betydeligt opfinderlegat, der straks, i 1919 efter Første Verdenskrig, omsættes i etableringen af en bilfabrik.Bentley frembringer herefter en række meget, meget hurtige lastvogne – det var i alle fald Ettore Bugattis karakteristik af designet – og vinder Le Mans adskillelige gange mellem 1924 og 1930. Og Bentley bliver så meget indbegrebet af en Gentleman's car, at Ian Fleming udstyrer James Bond med en Battleship Grey Blower Bentley.Efter at have ædt sig gennem tre formuer, smider W.O & Co. håndklædet i ringen i 1931 (med dagens begreber efter en dekade med en passende høj burn-rate). Bentley opsluges af Rolls Royce og W.O kører sig ud på et sidespor ved at fortælle sin nye chef, Henry Royce, hvordan skabet skal stå. W.O. forlader endelig fabrikken i 1935 og har ikke officielt noget med mærket at gøre sidenhen.Dine værter er som altid den næsten alvidende Stefan Kaas, og hans let aldrende ven, forfatter og ingenør, Adam Estrup.Du kan få mange begavede ting med i dette afsnit af Bilsnobbernes auditive bilencyklopædi – podcasten, der lærer dig at tale med når snakken omkring middagsbordet falder på Tom Tjaarda og nu altså også den bittersøde fortælling om en utvivlsomt meget teknisk begavet mand.

Dave and Chuck the Freak talk about technical issues, Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis, Mexican Navy ship hit bridge, do you have a foot fetish?, NBA and NHL playoffs, horse racing, golf tournament, National Parks posting viral videos for attention, Justin Bieber’s team says he was not a Diddy victim, Lorde watching the Pam and Tommy video, Catfish, what’s a weird rule that you have to do every day?, old man crashed into a bank, man found a nude guy in his home, neighbor caught guy stopping his Rolls Royce from being repo’d, clothing optional 5k, off duty firefighter jumps into action when backyard hot tub catches fire, man tried to make romantic gesture for wife with chips in bed, and more!

We review the new Audi RS6 Avant Performance, G99 BMW M5 Touring, Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance and Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. One looks spectacular, one has the most impressive suspension of all time, and one is unbuyable. === This episode is sponsored by Vyper Industrial — America's #1 rated shop chair, tool carts, and creepers, proudly made here in the US.

We've got Jason's blue E30 325i Touring in the garage as we discuss a pair of long-roof autobahn bruisers: the G99 BMW M5 Touring and C8 Audi RS6 Avant Performance. With the cancellation of Porsche's Panamera Sport Turismo, we turn to Porsche's top-spec suppository in its stead: the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. And, similarly, with the E63 wagon gone, we'll review the Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance to tide us over until the new E53 wagon arrives. Starting with the brand new BMW M5 Touring: a letdown as serious as its curb weight. A twin-turbo hot-vee V-8 alongside some EV juice dolls out 717 hp, but long before you're able to stretch its legs the suspension will have you nauseous. It heaves and lunges over road imperfections, and the rear-wheel steering makes it feel like you're perpetually entering the D dimension. Even with new, chunky-sidewalled Pirelli P Zero R tires, the ride is harsh, and the suspension is blatantly unfinished. Do a hard launch and prepare for simultaneous – and yet somehow also out-of-phase – wheelspin and violent pogoing. Things aren't much better styling-wise – the front-end treatment is positively hideous, and there's comparatively little backseat and cargo room next to the Audi. Overall, a huge let down, and a far cry from the delightful G80 M3 (buck teeth aside). Sadly, it will be a long, long while before we can import the G80 M3 Touring. However, it's worth noting that early M products have had teething issues before (including the beloved E90 M3). Jason suggests waiting for the arrival of the Competition Pack, but you'll still be stuck with a gaudy interior and byzantine infotainment system. The Audi RS6 Performance on the other hand is an absolute delight and unexpectedly fabulous. Without the bulk of hybrid batteries, the Audi weighs in at 400 lbs lighter than the Bimmer. It's all-around gorgeous – inside and out – and has loads of room for both passengers and cargo. Its steering is genuinely superior to the BMW's and Jason dubs it the “best wagon in the world.” As for the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid – it's Bose's 1990s dream realized. Jason heralds it as the most impressive suspension he's ever felt – ever. Like if a Rolls-Royce could turn. It comes equipped with the same potent powertrain found in the Bentley Continental GT Speed and Flying Spur, which is so powerful it earned the Porsche the label of quickest 4-door ICE car ever (the 4-door electric monsters still have it beat – the Lucid Air Sapphire and Tesla Model S Plaid both run in the 9s). And lastly, we have Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance – a charmer. The interior is slightly gaudy but otherwise splendid. Our particular car's cabin was a huge improvement over the Macanese bordellos of previous W223s and W222s. The convoluted and clunky drivetrain was an occasional annoyance (and has origins as far back as the first C43 and E63 wagon), but the Benz was mostly a delight to operate despite weighing more than a fully laden minivan – and 3000 lbs more than Jason's E30. The boys wonder why Mercedes has refused to implement the types of suspensions Porsche and Ferrari figured out for their sports cars years ago that allow for ultra-smooth cruising without sacrificing handling.

Donald Trump a schimbat complet tactica în ceea ce privește tarifele vamale. A trecut de la strategia de mână forte la negocieri. China și Uniunea Europeană pot să ajungă la o înțelegere comercială cu SUA. După ce 100 de zile din mandatul actual președintele american a răsturnat lumea cu tarifele sale vamale, Donald Trump se întoarce la intenții mai bune.Ieri, reprezentanți ai SUA și ai Chinei au anunțat că s-a ajuns la un acord privind taxele vamale. Cele două state au convenit să suspende pentru 90 de zile o parte din taxele vamale impuse în urmă cu câteva săptămâni. Suspendarea taxelor vamale va fi operațională începând de mâine.Spectaculos este nivelul convenit de reducere a taxelor. Dacă până mai ieri, importurile dinChina în SUA erau taxate cu 145%, de mâine tarifele vamale vor scădea la 30%. Invers, importurile din SUA în China vor fi taxate cu 10% în loc de 125%. Desigur, diferența de cote este „ca de la cer la pământ”, dar la un tarif de 145% era foarte probabil ca puține mărfuri să mai poată fi tranzacționate între cele două economii.Deocamdată, vorbim doar despre un acord limitat în timp. În cele 90 de zile de suspendare a tarifelor vamale cele două părți vor negocia. Este să recunoaștem un pas înainte pentru o înțelegere comercială între SUA și China. De asemenea, să ne aducem aminte că între SUA șiUniunea Europeană au loc negocieri pentru a găsi o serie de soluții în ceea ce privește tarifele vamale reciproce.S-ar părea că Donald Trump s-a schimbat radical. Este posibil să fi fost o tehnică de negociere? Se poate, numai că Donald Trump a întins foarte mult „coarda” ajungându-se ca piețele să devină volatile, ca nivelul de incertitudine din economie să crească foarte mult sau ca o parte dintre consumatori să se manifeste împotriva companiilor deținute de oamenii care lucrează alături de Trump.Ieri, piețele au devenit dintr-odată exuberante la anunțul celor două administrații. Astfel, prețul petrolului a crescut cu 3%, indicii bursieri au urcat, dolarul s-a apreciat față de yen și față de euro. Să ne aducem aminte că războiul comercial declanșat de Donald Trump a avut ca prime efecte o scădere a monedei naționale, dolarul, în raport de alte valute.Unii experți ne îndeamnă să ne bucurăm reținut spunând că practic ne aflăm doar în fața unei suspendări a tarifelor vamale. Cu toate acestea, în urmă cu câteva săptămâni totul părea blocat în relația comercială SUA-China, iar acum se poate vedea cum revine optimismul atât pe piețe, cât și în rândul politicienilor de ambele părți,Cine a câștigat? Trump cu tehnica sa abruptă de negociere care se vede acum că a funcționat? Sau China care de pe poziția sa fermă a reușit să îl „îndoaie” pe Donald Trump? Deocamdată, nu știm cine a câștigat, pentru că mai avem de așteptat cel puțin 90 de zile.De altfel, abordarea lui Trump s-a schimbat substanțial. De exemplu, săptămâna trecută, președintele american a anunțat un acord comercial cu Marea Britanie. Chiar dacă datele înțelegerii nu au fost finalizate un lucru este cert și anume că Marea Britanie va deschide piețele pentru produse americane în valoare de câteva miliarde de dolari, printre care carnea de vită, etanolul și pentru materiile prime agricole. De partea cealaltă, industria auto britanică va beneficia de o reducere a taxării de la 27,5% la 10% pentru o limită de 100.000 de mașini pe an, adică totalul exporturilor de anul precedent.Secretarul de stat american pentrucomerț a anunțat că firmele britanice vor putea să exporte în America fără taxe vamale piese de avioane, inclusiv motoare Rolls Royce. În schimb, o companie britanică va cumpăra avioane Boeing în valoare de 10 miliarde de dolari.Totodată, Uniunea Europeană a început un proces de negociere cu SUA pe tema tarifelor vamale. Vom vedea dacă se va ajunge la un rezultat, dar cert este că Donald Trump „a întors foaia” pe subiectul taxelor vamale trecând de la tactica “pumnului în masă” la negocieri.

Trump is touting his trade deal with the U.K., which he bragged will lead to an increased influx in the number of Rolls Royces to the U.S.  He also says that the mounting crisis at America's ports, which could lead to people losing their jobs, is proof that the U.S. economy isn't losing money. It's a real head scratcher. After that, Georgetown professor of Indian politics Irfan Nooruddin is here to help contextualize the ratcheting of tensions between Indian and Pakistan over Kashmir. As Professor Nooruddin points out, both nuclear armed countries have domestic political and economic incentives to forge ahead with this dangerous tit for tat. In the Fun Half, we're joined by the usual Thursday suspects, Matt Binder & Brandon Sutton to check in on Laura Loomer's crusade against top Trump administration officials, this time Pam Bondi (who she refers to as Pam Blondi). Tim Pool is upset that one of his favorite punk band's singers is trans and played at a Bernie rally. After that, Russ, Matt, Brandon and Binder watch some zany clips of Lindy Li talking to Tara Palmeri about her new book (kind of).

Quand on imagine un Viking en plein combat, on pense immédiatement à une grande hache tranchante brandie avec rage. Et ce n'est pas un cliché : les Vikings utilisaient bel et bien majoritairement des haches au combat, bien plus que des épées. Mais pourquoi ce choix ? Était-ce une question de stratégie, de tradition… ou tout simplement de budget ? Plongeons dans les coulisses de l'armement viking.La hache : un outil devenu armeD'abord, la hache était un outil courant dans la vie quotidienne des Scandinaves. Qu'il s'agisse de couper du bois, de construire des bateaux ou d'abattre des arbres, chaque foyer possédait une ou plusieurs haches. Résultat : c'était une arme familière, robuste et polyvalente. En temps de guerre, il suffisait de renforcer le manche ou d'affûter la lame pour transformer cet objet domestique en arme redoutable.Les archéologues ont retrouvé de nombreuses haches de guerre spécifiques, notamment la célèbre "hache danoise", longue et à lame large, utilisée à deux mains. D'autres modèles étaient plus compacts, légers et rapides, parfaits pour les raids éclairs.L'épée : un luxe réservé à l'éliteL'épée, elle, n'était pas à la portée de tous. Fabriquée en fer, souvent décorée, équilibrée et nécessitant un savoir-faire de forgeron très avancé, elle coûtait extrêmement cher. Pour un Viking ordinaire, l'épée représentait un symbole de richesse et de prestige.Certaines épées, comme les fameuses Ulfberht, étaient si bien conçues qu'on les considère comme les Rolls-Royce de l'époque. Elles étaient souvent transmises de génération en génération, accompagnées de rituels funéraires. Mais dans un combat de masse ou un raid, peu de guerriers en possédaient réellement.Efficacité et brutalitéLa hache n'avait pas seulement l'avantage du coût : elle était aussi terriblement efficace. Grâce à son poids décalé, elle permettait des frappes puissantes capables de briser des boucliers, d'éventrer des armures légères ou de désarmer un adversaire. Certaines étaient dotées de crochets, permettant d'agripper un bouclier ou de tirer un ennemi au sol.De plus, dans la tradition viking, le combat rapproché, brutal et direct était valorisé. La hache incarnait cette philosophie du guerrier sans fioritures, efficace et sans peur.Une arme identitaireEnfin, la hache était aussi un marqueur culturel. Elle symbolisait l'identité scandinave, à tel point qu'on la retrouve gravée sur des pierres runiques, des pendentifs, et même dans les mythes — le dieu Thor lui-même manie une arme lourde, le marteau Mjöllnir, qui partage une parenté symbolique avec la hache.En résumé, les Vikings se battaient avec des haches parce que c'était pratique, économique, redoutable… et profondément enraciné dans leur culture. Une arme à la fois populaire et mythique. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

A finales de 1997 se presentó el Clase A, un Mercedes revolucionario por su tamaño, su distribución mecánica y su tracción delantera. Era un coche clave para la marca, que quería crecer hacia arriba con Maybach y hacia abajo con este Clase A. Pero el 21 de octubre de 1997 un alce se cruzó en el camino… y Mercedes tembló. Y a mí me afectó… y mucho. Pero este asunto tuvo consecuencias muy beneficiosas… A Mercedes en esas fechas las cosas les iban bien… pero les podrían ir mejor. Por un lado, su fama de coches Premium de gran calidad era magnifica, pero tras la desaparición en 1993 del 190 gama arrancaba muy arriba, con el Clase C como oferta más asequible… Esto les privaba de competir en el sector de mercado de mayor venta en Europa y además colaboraba al envejecimiento de sus clientes, de alto poder adquisitivo, muy conservadores…. pero que envejecían año a año. Y por otro lado la marca rival de toda la vida de Mercedes, que no es otra que BMW, se había comprado la prestigiosa marca Rolls Royce, para competir con la parte más alta de la gama Mercedes. Y, como hemos dicho, Mercedes quería crecer por arriba y por abajo. Por arriba, lanzaron la desaparecida, pero muy prestigiosa marca Maybach para hacer berlinas de muy alto nivel capaces de competir con Rolls Royce. Pero necesitaban un coche de acceso y llevaban años trabajando en su Clase más asequible, el futuro A. Este modelo era toda una revolución para Mercedes y no solo por ser un tracción delantera, sino porque era muy pequeño para ser un Mercedes, solo 3.575 m de largo, bastante alto, casi 1,60 metros y con línea de monovolumen. El objetivo de conseguir una buena habitabilidad era posible gracias a su motor transversal delantero muy inclinado, lo que hacía que el capó fuese especialmente corto. Ya sabéis que en Europa los países nórdicos siempre han sido muy mirados para los temas de seguridad. Y también sabéis que en la península escandinava abundan los alces, un bicho muy grande, de hasta 1,90 metros de alto en la cruz, la parte delantera del lomo y pesar más de 500 kg. Por eso hacen la llamada Prueba del alce”. Porque ahora nos vamos al Salón de Tokio de 1997, a la presentación del nuevo Maybach, de la mano de Jürgen Hubbert que en esas fechas era el responsable máximo de la División de automóviles de pasajeros y miembro del Consejo de Administración de Mercedes-Benz… en lenguaje coloquial, uno de los jefazos. Lo que sucedió es que con el periodista Robert Collin al volante, de la revista técnica y del motor sueca Teknikens Värld, el novísimo, flamante y sofisticado Mercedes Clase A había volcado cuando se hacía la prueba del alce. Lo malo: El Clase A había volcado y no había superado la prueba del alce. Lo peor: Cuando volcó el coche, iban dentro 5 periodistas… no se produjeron lesiones serias, pero iba a ser imposible ocultarlo. Y lo pésimo: Ese mismo día un modesto Trabant fabricado en la desaparecida Alemania del Este, había pasado sin problemas la misma prueba… toda una humillación. Lo cimientos de Mercedes temblaron… Toda la comitiva de Mercedes volvió apresuradamente a Stuttgart para organizar un “Gabinete de Crisis” por el que desfilaron directivos, ingenieros, técnicos, proveedores como Bosch, de donde vino la parte más importante de la solución e incluso pilotos de Fórmula 1. Mercedes-Benz es mucha Mercedes-Benz y una metedura de pata de este calibre requería una solución drástica, sin reparar en gastos. Como primera medida, se retiraron las primeras 17.000 unidades ya vendidas, para modificarlas. Y se hicieron muchas mejoras. Toda esta crisis me pilló de lleno como responsable de las revistas de coches de la que era, entonces, la editorial más importante de España del sector. Creo que es la única vez en mi vida que recibí presiones de una marca para dar una información… más bien para no darla. A las pocas horas de conocer el famoso vuelco, se presentó en la redacción nada más y nada menos que el presidente y consejero delegado de Mercedes-Benz España, el Sr. Carlos Espinosa de los Monteros, una persona de mucho, muchísimo nivel y a quien admiro mucho… pero que me presionó lo indecible. Poniendo todos de nuestra parte finalmente llegamos a un acuerdo. Contaríamos lo que había pasado, pero diciendo que el coche accidentado no era el que se iba a vender y daríamos nuestra opinión de cómo iba el coche definitivo cuando lo probásemos. Así que muy poco después me desplace a Alemania a probar el Mercedes Clase A con todas las modificaciones citadas. Además de la prueba en carretera e incluso circuito, pude hacer tantas maniobras de esquiva como se me antojaron, incluida la famosa prueba del alce… y os aseguro que el coche respondió a la perfección.
