Mercedes Show You What You Can't Afford.

Mercedes has seen fit to show us what very few of us will be getting with their new SL 65 AMG Black Edition. The release of a video of a test driver putting the car through somewhat leisurely paces around a test track shows us a few things: One, Mercedes has a sense of humor. It's like they're taking pleasure in the fact that you can't afford this car which is obviously beautiful, and quite fast. Two, it doesn't make a very good noise. There does seem to be a V12 snarl in there somewhere, but it's overlaid with a loud, unpleasant whooshing noise that reminds one more of something made by Hoover, than by Mercedes. Three, there may be more development work to do. this is obviously not a production car because the launch is still months away, but though the pace doesn't seem that high, the car seems to jump around a bit, especially at the rear. More work on stability may be ahead. Still though, it's nice of Mercedes to think of us little people and give us the chance to see what we're all missing. More manufacturers should hurt my feelings thusly. Ive included the video below so that you can feel all the disappointment I do.
