I haven't seen too many Mercedes featured, except a W209 CLK on a recent episode.

I've watched it a couple of times. They really didn't tell much about the vehicles--mostly tacky blinged-out large SUVs.

I got tired of listening to the guys yell at one another.

Man.. that show makes me angry. They are the WORST installers I've ever seen. They spray paint peoples interiors? They use blowtorches on people's dashboards? They put square wooden boxes in peoples cars, and scratch up the interior. They did some dude's ugly orange car, and the square box in the trunk was too big, so the trunk wouldn't close, and the banged on the trunk lid with a hammer! Ugh, such poor poor work. Best Buy does better installations.

I agree. They have the reputation of being a quality installed, but the work they do is subpar. If I paid top dollar, and you used a rattle spay can on my interior I would be pissed off.

The only thing they did to the CLK was clean the rim. They mostly do H2's and other big SUVs. I wouldn't take anything to them.

"unique whips" is ghetto!!! What the hell is a "whip" anyway. I would be embarased if I was one of the people who actually paid them money to work on (ruin) my car. Speed channel should cancel the show and issue a public appology for wasting everyones time.

On a side note the CBS F1 coverage was horrible as well. The commentators were not entertaining at all and made the race cheesy. Half the time I was not even sure if they knew what they were talking about.

Unfortunately we will have to depend on cBS for the Spanish GP coming up. Makes you almost want to wait for the Speed channel version the following week.

I agree Speed Channel should be called the NASCAR channel. Almost every single day or night that is all I see and hear. I'm getting sick and tired of it
