I always was pessimistic about the SLR's chances and it unfortunately has met my low expectations. I discussed this some already in my review of the Top Gear vid, but I'll repeat: the car is too compromised--it's neither a sports car nor a complete GT car (crappy brakes, harsh ride)--and suffers because of this. I really think they should have stuck with the SL55 AMG / Maybach as the ultimate Mercedes, rather than further confusing things with another 500 hp+ super Benz. I'd take an SL 55 and buy a 360 with the change.
