Big expensive Merc, would you be ashamed if you had one of those?
Unbelievable arrogance!

Fist, let me say: user, great first post and I must say I agree with you on most of the things you say.
Some remarks however: you forgot to mention on of the biggest negative points - the brakes have no feeling at all. Ok this may be sorted out pretty easily but it seems they won't do it before they release the car... and a supercar with big faults even if they're easily corrected isn't that appealing.
And
Bilal I don't have anything against auto gearboxes and they may be faster then me but shifting myself is one of the joys of driving IMO.
Overall if we're talking about the Enzo-CGT-SLR (so we're forgeting the Koenigsegg & Zonda). The CGT biggest problem indeed is it's clutch, and I wonder if it's possible to use the car when you're stuck in a traffic jam and you have to roll the car forward for just one or two meters each time...
By the way, I didn't know the interior was from real aluminium, not plastics, so good point!!
And yes we do rely on Richard Hammonds oppinion but not only on his. I also saw a review of the SLR on Turbo.fr & Motorvision and read an article about the car in CAR & EVO. They all share the same opinion. A supercar with an auto gearbox = a bit weird / the brakes make it hard to feel how hard you're braking / it looks exotic.
That the ride was hard, ok that's indeed a pretty weird argument. They say the Enzo is rockhard but I doubt that Richard has driven in many supercars... (not sure so don't shoot me) and other reviewers didn't mention it so I don't take to much notice of that comment.
