| My review: 2011 Mercedes Benz SLS AMG.
This past week I worked on a commercial for the new SLS AMG, not to be released until next year.
Pretty awesome car all around. It wasn't 100% complete, the German tech guy had to keep pulling the dash out to tweak the electronics. But it was amazing.
The car ripped up and down the street a couple times; sounds AMAZING. Really throaty and loud from the V8...not like any Mercedes I've heard before. Normally I think Mercedes as quiet and toned down, but this thing was a BEAST.
I got to lift the gullwing door  Pretty kickass. Interior is really nice. I would expect that for a $320,000 car.
The nose of the car is quite long, but makes sense; leaves room for the massive radiator. There's a popup spoiler on the hatch, pops up Porsche-style above 80km/h.
I'd like to have seen a different style of rim on the car, something beefier and more agressive with a deeper offset, rather than the played out standard AMG wheels.
All in all thumbs up Mercedes. Nice throwback to the 300SL.

That's correct, it's in BC. It's supposed to be in North America somewhere.
Sometimes I get lucky and get to work on a cool commercial...other times, not as fun
The red looked great, but of course I would like to see one in black...

Yeah, I almost want the camera truck more. It was pretty sweet, the dudes sit inside and control everything while it drives. I would make some SWEET car movies with that thing!
I see the similarity with Lexus...but MB pulls it off much better.
I have a couple videos, I'll see if I can post them...
