“This steering wheel looks like it belongs in a sports car” - Doug Demuro, reviewing a 600HP V12 coupe

cup holder repair: $2,399

I got a 7 grand repair bill just watching this

This car is a real piece of art.

All those first AID kits are for the owner every time he gets the bill.

“This SOS button hasn’t been connected to anything for like nine years!” (presses it - Lichtenstein suddenly disappears from all maps)

The cup holder is designed to be have "play" so when you hit big pot holes or bumps, the force is absorbed by the mechanism preventing your latte from spilling. Mercedes over thinks every little detail and that goes for cup holders too. I have similar "flimsy' holders in my SL65 and I understand why they have play.

You cant have 2 first aid kits. One of them has to be the second. Doug.

Actually Bosch is very famous in Europe, everybody knows the company

In my country we have a saying: "The most expensive car is a cheap Mercedes"

In Germany it's required that everybody on the road carry a 1st Aid kit as well as a reflective hazard triangle to place behind your car to alert drivers (and ADAC German AAA) that you're broken down.

About 15 years ago, I worked with an old mechanic who was about retirement age. He had one of these. My father owned the business we worked at and this car was nicer than my dad’s E class! Charlie (the mechanic) told me that his daughter had bought this car for him brand new from the Arlington Mercedes dealership. She was a screenwriter and had landed her first big job. She bought this for him as a way to say “thank you”. He had raised her when her mother left. Being a single father, working two mechanics jobs to support your child through school, I can’t think of someone more deserving of this car than him. Charlie was truly a King.

11.3mpg in a 600hp car.. Im getting 10 with my 190hp s10🙂

One of my favorite Mercs ever. Just perfection. Shame they’re no longer throwing the V12 into the coupes after discontinuing the S65 coupe.

I don't like how Doug cuts from the interior review to the driving along without showing us the initial engine start seeing as that's one of the most exciting moments in a car like this.

I know some people who tried to own and maintain a CL class. they're all homeless now.

I used to be a seat heating button and I fucking hated the cool button having an extra LED. I no longer do that but the hatred lives in my heart still.

WHO'S BOSCH???? Like, the biggest supplier of fuel injection systems in the world?

I love it when Doug mashes the throttle with a big smile, and then his face gets all serious. Cracks me up.
