Merula Description:

You might not traditionally associate the words 'sexy', 'dangerous', 'uncompromising', 'culture-defining', and 'disruptively iconic' with 'luxury sedan'. And yet, here we are. So far it's not clear if the Albany marketing team have been replaced with the cheapest LLM on the market, or if their brainstorming strategy of serial amphetamine benders and liquid lunches have finally got them thinking outside the box. All we know is that once you feel that Merula engine tickling your taint, you'll be outside the box too.
