    Thanks to devoted CarGuys viewer, Roger, this week Damian and Jason are driving for the first time, a magnificent Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster.
    The softtop version of the reborn Mercedes Gullwing SLS has not seen as great an appreciation level since its launch in 2011 as the hardtop or the Black Series, and it now represents extraordinary value. It is after all, a largely bespoke Mercedes supercar with impeccable lineage, handsome lines, and quite the most brutal V8 engine from the masters at AMG.
    What will TheCarGuys think of this car, given that they are staunch Gullwing fans? What’s it like to drive a near 600bhp SLS in the rain? Is it a better car than the SLR? What are SLS beans really like? And which would they buy - a hardtop or Roadster? All these questions and more will be answered in this week’s episode.
    Thank you for watching

    Good to see you again Jason, but, what happened to last weeks episode? Really missed my Saturday morning Car Guys review. I got to drive a SLS AMG convertible a number of years back and I agree with all of your comments. My favourite AMG is the SL55 AMG. It’s a 200mph luxury GT if you get the limiter removed. Better fuel economy than the SLR and SLS. Maybe not as dramatic as the Gullwing SLS, but, still the same V8 roar and beanage ability.
