RE: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series: Driven

[Kermit79]

I refer back to my post less than 4 weeks ago, and a further two Mercedes AMG video's/roadtests ago below. The below was in relation to the E Class AMG 4-matic piece posted on the 18 Feb '13 :

Hi Chris,

I have not read your article but am commenting all the same, and here is why...I respect your judgement and enjoy your journalism, both on film and in print.....but, can we have a Mercedes AMG and Porsche free patch for a couple of weeks please?

I know that they are good products and you (and I) enjoy them very much. I would like some fresh offerings away from Porsche and Mercedes just to cleanse the palate and air the brain a little. This is in no way meant to be a low blow! I appreciate that you have brought some exciting content to us away from Stuttgart, I just feel a little Porsche'd/AMG'd out at the moment.

No doubt I will get shouted down for this response by the greater good on here.... but I do feel that there are some really exciting products out there that may not be getting the coverage that they deserve....not necessarily your fault..

...ducks down...

So imagine my surprise and dismay when this test gets uploaded. I am fast gathering disdain for the Mercedes brand due to the non-stop exposure of their products (no matter how good) on here. I may be in a majority of one here, but it would be nice to learn about some other cars, which from time to time you do give us Chris, which I suppose highlights how bored I have become with 'learning' about a new ecu setting for the AMG power-plant (I acknowledge it is a great thing by the way).

So please, please, please can we learn about something else away from Merc and Porsche and I for one will be a very happy chappy.

Many thanks.
