Top Gear - Mercedez CLS55 AMG
http://www.brunssum.net/~bartcamp/Me...ew@TopGear.wmv
repost or not here it is =D. I notice top gear has a pretty good sound track, do you guys know what the song being played is when Jeremy Piven is talking about the Mercedez quality and mentions JD Associates etc?

Clarkson is right when he talks about the quality issues. Quality is not the only worry but the high price of up keep as well. For instance, one of the door sensor went bad on my 05 S, guess how much it cost to fix it? $7.50 for the actual sensor and $ 210.00 for the labor 
By the way the new S

yea I was kinda surprised that the 360CS was faster.... if it indeed is the fault of the tires, I would hope they could test the 430 again with proper tires...

Excellent hookup, srika...Mind you, for some weird reason (according to my sources), he'll end up sounding like he prefers the M5 in the episode that happens the week after this one. Go figure.

btw...... Ferrari's production model V8 has had an 8500 rpm redline since the introduction of the F355 in 1994... 
also - the rev limiter is set at 8800-9000 rpm.
