US regulations. Makes those an afterthought...

I'd be ditching those as soon as I could.

Hot car though

U.S. regulations on the ratio of awesome:not awesome, that must be a part of a production car. Shit was tipping the scales without them.

Glueing on DTM style spoilers, flares and wings don't make an OK looking car 'the most handsome'. But what I think MB has proven is that they can make a more aggressive looking car and they will find buyers. While I'm sure it drives great, body kits and whatnot are really best left to ricers.

fix't.

It's a decent car, but it's still an auto in a 4,000 lb. car.

I want to love that car, but... it's rare to see anyone actually use them for what they were built for... like owning a sport bike but never riding it.

I agree that the front sidemarkers look very out of place, but other than that I'm a fan... If you've ever seen a black series before, it's one of those cars that you have to see in person. Pictures don't do it justice imo.

It's a wet clutch transmission that performance wise is quite similar to any other automated manual as seen in Ferraris, Lambos, GTRs, Evos, Audis, etc. And none of the cars I mentioned are exactly lightweights either, so what's your beef?
