I hate mercs

[G.Irish]

Just thinking about this... So you can't get a SLK32 AMG in manual?


If not, Gawd what a horrible company....booo :barf:

you can get the C230 sport in a 6 speed, as well as the SLK32.

and yeah, those Merc SLR's are horrible. AMG engines are trash, and their racing history is shameful. :roll:

Shameful? Well, I suppose they did kill a lot of people at Le Mans. Then there was that CLK-GTR that flew into woods. And the McLaren Mercedes that has almost killed Kimi Raikonnen on many occassions, but I think that's more McLaren's fault than Mercedes.

Really, Mercedes has never been a true racing company. Their DTM program was pretty good and they dabbled in CART and now they're in Formula 1 but for the most part they don't define themselves by racing. Nothing wrong with that really, Mercedes does more racing than Lamborghini does.

I don't hate Mercedes, just that they don't appeal to me. The AMG cars are fast for sure, but really they're luxo cruisers with monster engines. Good cars but not something I'd ever buy. AMG vs BMW's M division, I'd choose M ten times out of ten.
