why dont you watch the Top gear review of the G55AMG for a start. And yes
i dont live on an island that is the size of a peanut, we have nice straight (full of holes but thats a different matter) roads


i do understand you though. If i had a car that did 0-60 in 10seconds i would also downplay it

your attitude does make me laugh.

My life doesn't revolve around cars / MBs / 0-60 figures. And you can't even for once come up something nice (now there's a new concept for you) to prove your point without having to disrespect others whether personal or country / race. FYI, the island is just a part of Hong Kong, that doesn't include the Kowloon Peninsula (of course still not very big compare to other countries but enough for a fun drive) so open your eyes and see the world (or google map for that matter).

Did I downplay any cars with my previous posts? Oh right MB's I've been doing that since day 1

A boxster beating a G55 on twisted road is not something that will shock the automotive world. But than again you will never accept that fact

Hong Kong is a city of China. Now what island? Please read the map and history before writing.

Well..........Toyota (including Lexus) has been copying MB's design for a long time now so I guess MB decided that the only way to stop this is to design their cars to look like Toyotas to begin with.
