Not to bash the car, but really... the car sounds like those crappy go-karts at some fun park. I nearly fell asleep.

Nice interior and cool doors aside, it just doesn't do anything for me. Sounds good overall but honestly, it doesn't look very great.

So, its supposed to be a take off of Rendezvous, but there's all this talking over the car. Is this the final version or will there be a real version coming out?
I love how the pavement is shit everywhere except Beverly Hills.
Also, it took three days to film this 13 miles due to traffic - sounds like a great place to live!
That Mercedes sounds sick though - it sounds American. Too bad its a slush box.

^^^ It's not a "slush box", as has been mentioned many times, it is a double clutch gearbox, it does not have a torque converter, allow me to repeat, NO TORQUE CONVERTER. This mean that it is not an automatic, 2 pedals or not. It simply has an automatic shift map programmed into it's ecu.

Hm. Looks like they repaved part of Coldwater. That's nice.
Mulholland is lovely to drive leisurely on. Drive fast on it, and all the potholes will blow out your shocks. Don't ask me how I know.
That stretch of Sunset with no cars looks like it was filmed at sunrise, or around 5am. Which would explain the lack of cars. That same stretch on a Friday or Saturday night would have you crawling in bumper to bumper, stuck behind some murdered out CLK and in front of a white 330i with another Paris Hilton wannabe behind the wheel.

Didnt you have aftermarket springs and oem shocks? I thought the springs would cause the OEM shocks to blow....
BTW, the best cars in the world have dual clutch transmissions. So for those complaining, suck it...
