Who gives a damn!!! They are all automatic!! Until AMG decides to make manual gearboxes they will always be boring cars to drive.

Saul V I think you should know a little bit more about AMG before stating that they’re boring to drive. Automatic does not always mean boring and sluggish cars.

I’d definately take the SL. Second choice I’d prob take the CLS, it’s just such a beast that I don’t think i could live with myself if I chose the SLK over it, though i was behind an SLK 55 AMG the other day and it was soooo damn nice, the aggressive exterior styling works well on it, and the exhaust note of the V8 was really satisfying, even under mild acceleration: and i wasnt even driving it haha
