MB Fascination Tour Toronto
Invited and attended May 24th MB Fascination Tour free Event in Toronto for Coupe and Roadster owners. Was held at Woodbine Center.
Mostly a test drive event in the big parking lot with pylons to make a mini test track. Good selection of testers and well organized while drivers waited their turn to drive.
SL 550
SL 63
SLK 350
E 550C
E 400C
CLS 550
And the longest wait was for a beautiful red AMG GT - yowser, what a machine this is. There are no words. The exhaust note and crackle will forever be stuck in my head and the womp of that torque.
Went with a friend and we drove them all - I have an 2012 E550C that seemed like a snail on the way home after doing 4 laps in the AMG GT
For me the biggest disappointment was the SLK 350 - the handling which I expected to light, nimble and fun was quite the opposite.
MB Canada did a great job with setup, catering and knowledgeable personnel- better catering than most business social events I attend. All covered seating areas for the lounge.
Some signs of a tasteful soft sell for the Driving Academy - of which I am strongly considering
Great day - great event.
