The Mercedes SL is back with refuelled rigour and this time it is the combination of both engine and cabin tech. The 2013 model is dual turbo charged and is fast. The cabin is equipped with all the ample gadgetry like the top of the line audio system. The Comand Online system, Merc’s own signature […]
With the top up, that cover can be shifted out of the way to increase storage space, but you won’t be able to drop the top until it is replaced. Even getting into the trunk with the top down is a dramatic affair, requiring that the trunklid lift and then the folded roof and rear […]
With the side windows and windscreen up and the Air Scarf and heated seats keeping me toasty, there’s no situation short of snow or rain that could convince me not to take a moment and drop the top. Wind noise is so low that I was able to have a conversation with my passenger or […]
Under the SL’s hood hums a 4.6-liter V-8 biturbo engine that’s as much a work of art as the chassis. Direct-injection technology, a defeatable autostop feature, and an Econ shift program on the seven-speed automatic transmission help this mill to average 16 mpg in the city, 24 mpg on the highway, and 19 mpg according […]
Around town and on the highway in its most comfortable transmission and ABC setting, the SL550 is probably best described as “effortless.” It’s got more power than it needs for sliding between stop lights, so it can keep its revs low and gearing tall without compromising responsiveness. With the minimal throttle inputs required to reach […]
Selecting the Sport shift program and the Sport ABC mode, the SL550 comes alive. Lower gears are held slightly longer and downshifts are easier to request and predict with the accelerator pedal, sacrificing a few mpgs to have all 429 thoroughbreds on tap when you need them. The chassis also felt more responsive to steering […]
The SL550 is a brilliant automobile. Sure, Comand Online is a train wreck, but it doesn’t ruin the vehicle that Mercedes’ chassis and engine engineers and designers have built around it. There’s just so much to like about being behind the wheel of a big, red Benz that I find myself over 3,000 words into […]
The end of London Olympics 2012 on Sunday means all gazing eyes are now pointed at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games. However, all happy talks aside, there is a darker side to the city, more staggering to fastest growing country in the world, Brazil. Some parts of the country are facing forced eviction from […]
The federal judge grows frustrated by gibberish; both lawyers will cull out the joint jury instructions The federal judge presiding over the Apple-Samsung patent infringement trial has apparently grown weary of the quibbling attorneys in the case and has ordered them to meet in person today to hammer out joint jury instructions. “The Court is […]
US Pay-TV services faced the biggest drop in subscription ever recorded in the second quarter, as economic woes and competition from Netflix and other over-the-top TV services set in. The biggest reason for drop is increasing consumer interest in streaming boxes like Apple TV and Roku LT/HD. Services like Netflix and Hulu Plus come pre-installed […]
Apple is clearing out its inventory of current iPhones ahead of the expected September launch of its next-generation handset. Retailers and wireless carriers are offering discounts on the iPhone 4S to empty their shelves to make room for Apple’s sixth-generation iPhone, informally called the iPhone 5. Apple has not disclosed plans for its next iPhone, […]
Three key Demonoid domains are now up for sale, less than two weeks after the BitTorrent site was taken down in a coordinated effort. Torrent lovers, beware, their beloved uTorrent has been taken down and now three more website names are up for grabs as they have also been unplugged from the web because of […]
