Mercedes SLS Roadster video review

[PiorunPL]

SLS is not softer than MP4-12C if we talking about ride quality,

[lightsodda]

Personally, losing the gullwing doors improves everything.

[TenseNotDense]

A good reviewer but she needs to be told that coops are for chickens. Coop-ay lady !!!!

[StreetKingEvolution]

I would still have the roadster!

[StreetKingEvolution]

I'm jealous!

[DefenderTDBlack]

Alot of people writing stupid/ harsh comments about this pretty damn good car reviewer.... don't really undrstand why? She's not exactly ugly and what car guy wouldn't want a bird who knows her way around engine.... Certainly me.

[mankaman3]

i thought they swaped the old 6.2L engine for the new 5.5L biturbo.

[netxposeidon]

I don't understand why everyone misses the gullwing doors from the roadster and makes these nonsense references to the original gullwing. It is true that there was the 300 SL coupe with the gullwing doors but the 300 SL roadster had regular doors, just like the SLS AMG roadster. So Mercedes is totally faithful to its heritage, just people don't check the facts.

[DiViViO]

She aint no VBH!

[tanner1ie]

@DiViViO Different channel! :) .

(VBH is on 5th Gear.)

[xener98]

SHE ruins the vid.

[maxbify]

her name is parrot lol

[g1981c]

i like this car a lot. it stands out. yeah a Porsche is probably "better" but every doctor and banker has one. this car looks unique, and is still quality - i think that makes it a win.

[StigRossi]

Stupid review. Should have been compared to an SL63 AMG instead

[JAYJAY1000000]

British biatch alert!

[MrXyLmn]

what a beauty..

[Anoush13]

Don't hate the European women! They actually know what they're talking about when it comes to cars. American women are the one you should make those sexist remarks to.

[thugangel662]

That kitchen has some nice paint.

[JKayFI]

@thugangel662 The 1950's called - they want their crap joke back.

[golferchin76]

I like the gull wing. I think if you want to hear the engine roar you can always change the pipes.

On the other hand, maybe we can keep the gull wing, but chop off the doors. Does that make it a convertible?

[thugangel662]

it looks better than the coupe but still i need my gullwing doors i just need them

[nexorabolis]

Damn, why can't all girls be this way? "Hey honey, listen to this 6.3L V8!" "....... uh huh. That's nice dear..." oh well..

[joako2706]

After the Mclaren Mercedes SLR "tour de force" this SLS retro-thingy is such a dissappointment.Where are the fly-by-wire brakes,the amazing supercharger whine or the all carbon fibre body???

If "cheap" was their objective they should have sticked to the SL or CL

[IJunglist2010]

Too many people with key stroke biceps. Thinking they are tough posting incendiary remarks about a well respected and learned journalist. Jealousy must be tough on you seeing a woman drive a monster V8 whilst you sit with your hand in your jockies whilst watching burnouts in the local park. You are a bunch of faecal sacks moulded into humanoid form......... Right I zm done now. Night all.

[1IImrxII1]

Sounds like a American muscle car

[mikkelandersen141]

nice car + boring presenter = boring video :/

[EVILSPAWN1000]

So ppl are ment to spend xxx.000 quid on a car based on what a WOMAN says????? Chris harris:Autocar needs you mate

[powderhund14]

absolutely gorgeous car... even better looking than the coupe? (with the doors closed of course)

[22slither]

The SLS is not the predecessor but the spiritual successor to the original 300SL. A great review otherwise.

[ftowords]

yea its hard for me to admitted that this new sls has normal doors..

[bpaczewski]

Why isn't it going sideways?

[sensemille]

forgot to mention AMG in the title?

[fwijffels]

0:30 How the hell would you even want to drive a car like this on such high heels.

[LeviNinetyone]

great review vicky!

[Donedeal11]

Car with awesome doors that almost no car in the world has. I know. I'll pay 8000 dollars more for one without them! And itll be a useless droptop! I'm so smart.

[alextgreen]

"some slight fluidity"; really? Somebody shoot the editor!

[integralexpo]

my friend gave me a ride in his red sls. it is still freakishly loud even with the windows up.. the soft top must be REALLY loud

[manuvdbrule]

How would you get a good ride with those shoes?

[Slowekistan]

She seems so uncomfortable: her speech, her posture, her bodylanguage. Give it up.

[Andywhoooo]

@iksuperman23:Mercedes always advertise there 6.2 as a 6.3 don't ask why

[AhilMohan]

her voice is so annoying, albeit, she does actually do proper reviews (unlike Sutcliffe)

[jackpimpson]

She sounds so scared and her voice is crowki. Had to turn it off. Deffo better female presenters.

[markoloko1000]

like a bird with no wings...useless. But it´s fucking b-e-a-utiful

[uksuperman23]

She says the 6.2 engine when the badge says its a 6.3!!!??

[silverbullet1979]

@uksuperman23 that's because it really has a 6.2 displacement, I really don't quite understand why Merc put the 6.3...

[findhawaiihouse]

Buy SLS because of it's sound? That's quite an advise!!! I wish she could sound better.

[JOEBAYNES]

My 23rd birthday is in march it would be a good present

[rusty5100]

Mfw Internet gangsters.

[1309devan]

Wotta dork

[TheStallion234]

Also, just a question about the gullwing doors. If your garage is a single car garage or has ceilings under 9 feet high, how do you get in and out of it?

[afthefragile]

@TheStallion234 you don't.

[afthefragile]

@TheStallion234 Also if you have a small garage, you can't afford the SLS or if you can afford the SLS then get a bigger garage!

[TheStallion234]

@afthefragile Well afthefragile, you've obviously never seen the $10 million condos in Manhattan because they have one car garages at best, and I'm pretty sure the people who live there can afford an SLS. Haha

[TheStallion234]

Not for nothing, but if the SLS coupe was an ode to the old 300SL Gullwing and she says the lack of gullwings on this take away from it, the original 300SL roadster didn't have gullwing doors either...

[Ryanr75rc]

Not that persenter again she not a good one

[hamzah510]

Mercedes should of given it butterfly doors as seen on the SLR.

[legr8est1234]

All the sexist, immature comments here make it obvious that the majority of subscribers to this channel are under 16.

Nobody judges the male "presenters" on their looks, so why are you doing that to a female presenter?

This was a good review of a nice car, and there's no need for you to show us all that you won't be able to function in the real world until you grow up and stop making lame sandwich and kitchen jokes.

[urwetdreamz]

@legr8est1234 Quote: "Nobody judges the male "presenters" on their looks, so why are you doing that to a female presenter?"

Cause this reviews are dominated by male viewers, why would you judge a mans looks as a man ;).

[legr8est1234]

@urwetdreamz I don't know what that wink means.

My point is that her role should be no more than to voice Autocar's review. Why make her anything more than that? It doesn't matter to you if the male presenter is unattractive, so why should it matter if the female presenter is?

Do you watch these videos for sexual arousal or for an opinion on/video of a car?

Also, would you want Steve Sutcliffe or Chris Harris to no longer do reviews because female viewers complain of their looks?

[urwetdreamz]

@legr8est1234 "Also, would you want Steve Sutcliffe or Chris Harris to no longer do reviews because female viewers complain of their looks? "

No, I dont care about their looks. I was just trying to explain to you the (stupid) reactions of some people. I'd guess about 99% of the viewers here are male, so their commenting on a female presenter. If this would be a show about shoes presented by an ugly guy, the female viewers would also comment on the looks of the guy.

[legr8est1234]

@urwetdreamz In either case, I think the best policy is "if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all." It's really unnecessary to comment solely to insult the presenter's looks.

[urwetdreamz]

@legr8est1234 Just ignore those comments ;). U cant change people, especially not on youtube...

[legr8est1234]

@urwetdreamz And I don't really care about people. I just think it's mean-spirited to post these kinds of things. I would really hope the presenter never sees the kinds of things people say about her in these comments, because I'm sure she'd feel pretty crappy.

[urwetdreamz]

@legr8est1234 I hear you.

[teakbridge101]

@legr8est1234 You make great points about my main YouTube gripe.

[ClownViolenceBoogie]

@legr8est1234 Hit close to home?

[legr8est1234]

@ClownViolenceBoogie Nope, I'm not personally offended. I'm not even a woman. It's just annoying and immature, and YouTube would be a better community (and channels like autocar would be more eager to post here) if the comments were not so stupid.

[krkr70]

@legr8est1234 Obviously because we don't take females seriously when they are taking about cars unless they are wearing something more feminine..i guess

[Scudeyyy]

@legr8est1234 Cheer up mate but valid point

[123gwf]

@legr8est1234 Well said, sir.

[turbokompressored]

@legr8est1234 she can't do a good review because she can't... she doesn't have testicles...

[CheeseWithWorms]

@legr8est1234 As long as the kitchen joke bugs you, men (including me) will probably keep doing it. We make these jokes because they bug you, not because we actually believe what they say.

Furthermore sexuality is a man's most natural and instense urge and in fact there is nothing wrong with checking how good/bad this woman in the review looks!

Bitch please. As if women dont judge by the looks!!! You sooooo do so!!!!!!

[legr8est1234]

@CheeseWithWorms These jokes bother me because I can imagine how they make women feel. Even if I shut up about it, every woman who's ever subjected to these "make me a sammich" and "get back to the kitchen" remarks (which are not funny at this point) will feel bad because they represent sexist attitudes.

And there's nothing wrong with checking a woman out. But if you don't like what you see, why insult her in a way that will surely make her (and other women) feel like crap if she hears/sees it?

[CheeseWithWorms]

@legr8est1234

When you agree a video of yours to be played on the internet, you will be forced to deal with such things. If she doesnt make it, she is not a good proffesional car reviwer!

And btw, other people may call some gorgeous models whores or etc. It's not just against this woman.

As the jokes go. That kind of stuff was always done in young ages. They will probably not stop. When you know that the kitchen doesnt concern you, you will have no prob.

[legr8est1234]

@CheeseWithWorms Well, see, I am almost certain no woman will stay long with a man who thinks like this and doesn't hide it. I wish you and those who call "gorgeous models whores" luck in having a long-term relationship.

[CheeseWithWorms]

@legr8est1234

I meant that any man or woman in TV may receive bad unreasonable criticism. jesus

And why the do people have to follow what you concern as right? if i want one night stands, i so wont stop just because feminists see me as a bad self centered sexist guy!

[legr8est1234]

@CheeseWithWorms It doesn't really matter what anyone thinks except the women with which you try to do that. If they're okay with it, then it's not a problem.

But I have a feeling that most of these jokes are made my immature teenagers who've never had a girlfriend and will never be able to have a long-term relationship if they think like that.

I'd like to think I'm offering helpful advice, as none of the girls I know appreciate that kind of humor. In fact, they avoid guys who use it.

[GiveMeABloodyUser]

@legr8est1234 have some sense of humor and don't be over sensitive

[legr8est1234]

@GiveMeABloodyUser You didn't offend me. As I've said, it's very likely that a woman reading such comments about her would be very hurt and would be much more likely to feel like shit for things that are really our of her control and don't have to do with her job. Why even make that a possibility?

Also, wouldn't you feel like crap if you tried your best to do something and a majority of people who saw you try only said negative things, most of them not even related to what you were doing?

[mihalachedoru]

my God the British bitches are ugly!

[ryanvance45244]

@mihalachedoru whatever you should watch charlie bit me

[mihalachedoru]

I would have made it with the gull wing doors...

[legr8est1234]

@mihalachedoru How?

[machinegunmana]

more reviews from this person!

[UNSCmarine51]

If I want a decent car review then I'll watch TopGear.

[adhishb]

I hate this chick



[gabriel745295]

That is one weird ass kitchen

[Scudeyyy]

@gabriel745295 Who cares about the kitchen, we need more women who like cars! 

[ivarsrini]

She looked and spoke like a funeral director.

[imagonnalickyou]

she was having a crisis

[hunginator]

Very very very boring presenter.



[TheVegasGuy90]

@hunginator She's better then any American presenter, male or female.

[Belder1114]

nice car though for thought of driving

[Belder1114]

As nice as a woman but tocks isn't it for the ride it looks thats you no

[FORTY848]

a 6.2 litre convertible kitchen? :P

[twztd28]

I feel like without gullwing doors the car is just not the same.

[JETZcorp]

This is not the spiritual predecessor to the original. How can something be a PREdecessor to the original of anything?

[legr8est1234]

@JETZcorp They probably meant successor. A forgivable error, I'd say.

[JETZcorp]

@legr8est1234 Surely.

[THEINFORMER93]

This is the most emotion i have ever seen from this girl

[blackvapour]

The word is COUPE, not COOP, fucking yank-wannabe stupid woman. Stop butchering the glorious synthesis of English and French with your americanisms in every review, it's so irritating.

[gyro231995]

@blackvapour Jesus, lay off her. Sure she butchered the pronunciation but why do you nitpick about this when you could be bitching about how she didn't like the car as much as the coupE (you're welcome) because it didn't have stupid doors?

[seglermichael]

headle bars!!!!!

[chunchuck2000]

why are the reviews so short

[veyronman]

@chunchuck2000 because Autocar is a magazine. they don't *have* to make videos, they just choose to.

[gyro231995]

Better in every way but doesn't have stupid doors that you can't open in a car park, so the soft top is inferior.

Makes sense.

[sportfuryman]

@gyro231995 jermy clarksonsim at its best

[griffin911]

Terrible review of a glorious car. She is vile to look at and listen to.

[dem1275]

Dear Santa.........

[spencer19811]

Shit review.

End of.

[Jetbrowse]

The car which I'll never own as new or used. :(

[SR91Aurora]

A poor review of a great car.

[Belder1114]

No

[richardmajor86]

Vicky, please hold the steering wheel correctly.

[SpikeOT]

Some of the comments here are just hideous. She did a good job of reviewing the car. Sure, she might not be quite as entertaining as Steve Sutcliffe or Chris Harris, but Jesus Christ people, have some respect.

[alexbuiii]

Where the hell is the other guy..?

[hrcanda]

This woman has no charisma al all. She is all seriousness. Even when she tries to giggle, it sounds totally unnatural and out of place.

Actually, she reminds me of mr. Bean's girlfriend.

Bad bad bad review.

[kolodmoy]

This kind of driver doesnt belong in the sls!!

[jonsimcoe]

Gullwing vs Roadster. I take the Roadster.

[Dermo1985]

Wait wait wait the new car is the spiritual predecessor of the original gullwing someone tell her its the successor, and its coupé not coop, she's not american!

[MrMartie36]

We want Steve Sutcliffe

[Dominuce]

i know Clarkson ordered one

[radar3699]

@Dominuce Are you extremley sure? because he said in one of his publishings that it was too expensive...

[limpkit2011]

Is That a Girl Reviewing a Car? Go Make Me A SandWich.

[spatrick25]

better without the stupid gull-wing doors.

[133j0hn]

Did the kitchen leash break again or what?

[ggdeibiza]

No, Vicky. YOU'RE a thing of deep, deep joy. You're so fine I wonder how you taste...

[abdigadar16]

Ffs not this utterly ugly bitch again!! Mat Watson or GTFO

[asianmovement]

Looks much better that the coupe

[SurneySingh]

look at her hair LOL

[rowsdower12]

The engine still sounds orgasmic. Yummy.

[epicka]

hold steering wheel properly!

[gulfstorm99]

Did she eat the regular autocar dude?

[rippinshifter]

that may be the prettiest drop top I've ever seen

[suneilkumar]

Gotta have the Gullwing.I can't imagine a v12 Lamborghini without their signature scissor doors.

[FordV8Supercar]

No gullwing doors means street rep decreases slightly. Maybe.

[gyro231995]

@FordV8Supercar No gullwing doors means I can get out of the car in a car park.

[FORTY848]

@FordV8Supercar yeah coz people know the sls as the gullwing

[FordV8Supercar]

@FORTY848 That's it, like the original Mercedes 300SL convertible job, it's not worth biblical sums of money these days. But just because of doors for crying out loud!?

[cameronkfraser]

Hold the steering-wheel properly! What are you doing, you idiot?!?!?

[Mikedelike]

@cameronkfraser she needs to get back to the kitchen where she belongs.

[jacobwhitesmith]

Prefer the non-roadster version than this because of the doors

[faisalk85]

worst. review. ever.

WHERE'S MY SAMMICH??

[ronin84]

@faisalk85 Wow a sexist joke! How original! You're brilliant...

[legr8est1234]

@faisalk85 Your mom's probably working on it. Don't yell at her, though, or she might not give you your allowance this week.

[Junior4AMG]

please take stick out of ass first

[skimmm91]

when i see a review from autocar i expect to see the car sideways!

[5skif5]

How to UTTERLY RUIN an exciting automobile:

Step 1.

Allow the review to be conducted by a worst-qualified Presenter ever (Mr. Potato Head would make more sense) --- (Check);

Step 2.

Encourage her to open mouth to produce verbal nonsense, depriving viewers of enjoying sound of Mercedes' most powerful naturally aspirated engine -- (Check);

Step 3.

Dress her up in a 'sexy' tablecloth -- (Check);

GREAT SUCCESS AUTOCAR!

P.S. I bet she is sporting a healthy penis under that shapeless maroon robe ;)

[scootosan]

1:57 on a straight with the brakes?...honey you are over your skis

[jo05dk]

Originally i went nuts over the coype, when they released it. Now i'd have to say that -to me- it's getting old, and i'd take this version over the coupe any day, if forced to chose between the two. Reason besides the goldwing doors getting boring: As stated in the video. More of that noise can only be a good thing:-)

[calaiscruiser]

I'd go the roadster..

[W00LFY100]

'Coop', its'coop-ai' this side of the pond, somebody's been getting hints and tips from from our colonial cousins me thinks.

[mak450]

@W00LFY100 Who gives a crap? You guys are still stressing a different part of the word than the French are, so if anything it isn't like you're pronouncing it correctly if you can even attach labels like right or wrong to pronunciations.

[TheVegasGuy90]

@W00LFY100 You can pronounce it however you like. It depends on what region you're from that defines the norm. It's just easier to say it in one syllable. Yes I know it's just one syllable, but why do you feel the need to critique her speech?

[W00LFY100]

@TheVegasGuy90 Every English person I have heard says it in two syllables and It just sounds like she's copying aAmerican review when she says 'coop'. A coop in my book is a chicken shed. Anyway, it's human nature to criticise something thats not the norm, why not have a go at everyone on here saying shes got no enthusiasm and is boring?

[sktfourlif]

So what makes this different from a sl63 ?

[default919]

Can you get a hard top convertable? SHIT!

[benzbubblecat]

leeeeeesbian.

[petbedding01]

Still can't see how this car is any better than an R8 V10. The top speed and acceleration figures are pretty much identical yet the SLS costs £60,000 more.. And I'm having a hard time seeing what you get for your extra 60 grand..

[mtb2572]

who stopped watching after seeing it was a woman?
