    I respect a car manufacture that lets a UA-camr review a $250,000 car. And Sarah is one that will do an honest review regardless on how expensive it is.

    • @cali2468

      $200k+ with only 577hp and 0-60 in 3.6 seconds is insulting. This car is a rip-off!

      Manufactured by Mercedes? Of course it is! Most Mercedes are problematic unreliable overpriced money pits that people get suckered into buying for the bells and whistles and shiny crap. They'd be better off buying a used Toyota or Honda.

      @@cali2468 Yeah, that's barely average performance now days, especially when you factor in the cost; it's absurd. There are so many better cars to get for that price. A base Corvette convertible costs 70k-ish, and does 0-60 in 2.7, lol.
      I'm sure it drives well at 140 mph on the freeway, but what performance car doesn't anymore? Modern cars are way too easy to drive, and wayyy too expensive.

    If the manufacturers are truly proud of their products, they shouldn’t care what reviewers do with them. This being said, your reviews are by far the most in-depth and real-world related compared to all the other reviewers who are basically paid to gloat about the product. 👏🏻👍🏻
