M6 - Too much of a good thing (like a V10) is not enough. Too much of a bad thing (like SMG) is a nightmare

摘要

I used to think it was Mercedes-Benz that best represented that most unbending of Germanic pig-headedness: that ability to continue down a path not because it's the best one, but because it's the one you chose years ago The same ability to confer that it's okay to wear leather shorts and eat pigs' feet. In the case of M-B, there were those outdated design elements that reminded you of the fact: a steering wheel that wouldn't have looked out of place on a Sydney-to-Hobart yacht; the auto tranny that took off in second gear unless you mashed the throttle into the (admittedly, good quality) carpet.
