It was a loaner from the dealer, he went to the crap MB dealer and only got a C. If he went up to MB of North Heaven they probably would have given him an E.

Psh, that one doesnt even have an 8 speed transmission does it? PASS!

Honestly whats the deal with some of these cars with 300+ horsepower and 8 gears? How annoying to shift through all those gears. The tricked out Lexus IS with V8 comes to mind, as does the newer BMWs.

It maximizes the MPG's at 120 mph cruising speed.
