    He's saying the engine is great but that the rest of the car can't cope with it, hence, the car is crap.
    Which comes as no surprise, considering it can't even take 500 hp.
    The engines are fine Merc, time to sort out the rest please.
    Fanch.

    I agree and disagree, the message AMG is sending out to all sportscars is handling's fine, but beat our torque and HP.

    Re: CL65 VIDEO...

    I love the SL's styling, I so wish they could make it as invloving as the Carrera, it would then be the best car in the world IMO.
    SL55 almost has it all, the styling, the practicallity, the soundtrack, the speed, the power, all it needs is a bit more involvement please!!!
    Fanch.

    Involvement means manual gearbox, feelsome steering and instant throttle response, and the small matter of an extensive diet....

    Not possible mate...

    Re: CL65 VIDEO...

    I know, sad. I love the SL55 so much though.
    I'd like to find out more about the F1 Performace Pack, supposedly, the chassis is much improved.
    That still leaves us with the steering problem though, which is a major one.
    Manual gearbox would be nice, but not compulsory.
    As for the diet, well, yeah would be nice too, but that's why it's got 500hp!

    Secretly I think MB doesn't want to run Porsche out of business that's why it won't make a killer sports car, but damn, it sure makes one hell of a grand tourer!
