Thanks for the great comparisons...
I actually sat in a 350 yesterday, after getting out of my Miata....wow. What a difference!! I'm hooked on the SLK and I haven't had a chance to drive it yet.
The Miata is practical but very crude...I agree. I've never felt like I was driving a real car...everything is simple and thin (seats) much like I would imagine an older British 2 seater might be. I think that was what they were originally aiming for. Took a 3 hour ride to Houston with a trunck full of my bronze sculptures...punishing!!! I came back and told my wife I've had enough of shifting through six gears and dragging my ass on the highway. Never thought I would come to an age when I would be tired of shifting!!!
Hopefully by the end of the year I will be sitting in a much more luxerious ride with a 280 in it's name!! |
