I know you guys all watched last week's fifth gear where plato did a review of the new S class. Right? Well, if you'd have watched it, you'd have seen the new cruise control that adjusts speed for you depending on the cars in front of you.
See how well that worked...

"works perfectly in all other circumstances"... except the other ones that we haven't thought about yet.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

I do believe you are right Maeng. Mercedes made a few manual cars in the 80s but other than that Mercedes is a luxury touring car company not a sports car company.

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

Some of 'em have 5spds in europe, I guess we're too lazy and decadent to appriciate such things

I think the SLRs are poopy too. I don't care how fast it is. Give me a manual transmission.
