Questions & Answers about Limousinen mit solch einem Design beschleunigen leise.
Why is it solch einem Design instead of just solchem Design?
Both are correct! You can use solch- as a normal word with case endings, which would be mit solchem Design. However, it is very common to combine the uninflected word solch with the indefinite article (ein-). When you do this, the article takes the case ending. Since the preposition mit requires the dative case and Design is neuter, it becomes mit solch einem Design.
Could I use so ein- here instead of solch ein-?
Yes! In everyday spoken German, people usually prefer so ein- over solch ein-. You could say mit so einem Design, and it means exactly the same thing: "with such a design" or "with a design like that".
Does Limousinen refer to stretch limousines like it often does in English?
Not usually. In German, eine Limousine normally just means a standard closed passenger car with a fixed roof, like a sedan (US) or saloon (UK). If a German speaker wants to specify a long, luxury stretch limo, they will usually say eine Stretch-Limousine.
Why doesn't leise have an ending to show it's an adverb?
