you have to admit, their autobox is better than most others on the market......

True, it is good, for an auto.

but then i should say that the only mercedes autobox i've had experience with is the one in the old slk230.
it wasn't brilliant but it didn't do the annoying shift up/down at unwanted moments that my mum's old fiesta gearbox does.

Mercs make the best slushboxes as far as im concerned.

just what is the comparison here?
are we just looking at numbers or what they do or what we prefer?

its all about what you prefer.

all the crap they did to the SLR is just redundant. you make the ridiculously overpriced because of the body material to make it light. then you stick a thousand lbs of junk into it. stupid. even it was very light, i would pick the 430. sexy as hell and fast. my dad has a 360 and i love it. if i want an AT, ill get the F1 so no points for merc in that aspect. i would love to have either though.

and who buys a car like those to drive cross country? thats what your other car is for.
