AMG_Black is laughing at you right now. He owns the dealership.

Not that I ever really listen to what Jeremy Clarkson says, but he did make a point to criticize the SL65 Black for its extremely harsh ride quality. What is your impression of its ride quality?

I wasn't on the track pushing it like Clarkson was. But I thought it rode very smoothly. I got a totally different impression than he did.

The biggest "complaint" I could make is that it is obviously a very heavy car and not as agile as other super sports cars I have owned and driven.

Like I said, I could never justify the price. But I bet they are willing to deal on these right now. Mercedes is having a hard time selling them.

Great pic of the front of that Black series. Shows how sinister it looks

Yea, they must have a hard time selling these, there's been a black one at Calabasas MBZ for over 6 months.

Nice review. All very respectable vehicles. The pic of the Vantage is sweet.
