    My head tells me this is the better car. My heart tells me the SLR is the God of Thunder, and that's all that matters.

    Good to see you again Jason, but, what happened to last weeks episode? Really missed my Saturday morning Car Guys review. I got to drive a SLS AMG convertible a number of years back and I agree with all of your comments. My favourite AMG is the SL55 AMG. It’s a 200mph luxury GT if you get the limiter removed. Better fuel economy than the SLR and SLS. Maybe not as dramatic as the Gullwing SLS, but, still the same V8 roar and beanage ability.

I shall not sell him, ever.
