I saw a show on "assembly lines" that chronicled the new MB SLS. I found it very difficult to watch. for example: in the segment where AMG is building the engines they showed how the main bearings are installed--that they are special split bearings. Well there may be something special about them, but the video showed the installation of the very common shell bearings that everyone has been using for over 50 years. If there was anything special, they sure didn't explain what.
They also used "hand built" about 100 times too many.
Great car, but this show was terrible.
