Mercedes Takes Drivers Around the Benz

"...The Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy offers four programs operated by Driving Unlimited out of Vancouver, British Columbia. There's a half day Driving Experience, the full day Advanced Driving course and Mastering Performance course I took and the aforementioned Winter Skills program. The latter will also run a full day and use all 4MATIC vehicles for rough weather fun. Prices, in Canadian dollars, range from $395 for the half day Experience to $1595 for Mastering Performance..."

"...The 12 Mercedes-Benz vehicles range from the little B200 Turbo (currently unavailable in the U.S., which is a shame since it's a darn fine vehicle) to the mighty E63 and CLK63 AMG's, with models such as the C230, E320 BLUETEC diesel, ML320 4Matic Diesel, CLS550 and SLK 55AMG thrown in to keep things interesting. Participation is limited to 12 people, and each gets reasonable seat time in every vehicle, and with each instructor..."

"...The Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy is scheduled next for Vancouver, British Columbia: The Driving Experience takes place July 12, 2008, at the British Columbia Driving Centre, and the Mastering Performance course outlined here is set for July 15 at Mission Raceway Park..."
