Sumanth V it’s because of his profile picture. You most likely have seen other accounts with the same profile picture because of a youtuber’s fortnite video that got millions of users to make their profile pictures exactly the same lmao. I used to have the same pic.
I love that the paddle shifters turn with the steering wheel. Such a small but extremely important detail on the track, so that the shifters are always available to you, even in sharp corners.
@Conor Agreed, or he did it as soon as he realised nowadays people would get mad easily if only one gender were called out. So, just to play it safe lol.

I think the weird thing is that he complains about the old infotainment system and such, but then notes how no one cares about this car's boot capacity. No one cares whether this thing has a CD or DVD player for the same reasons no one cares how much its boot can carry...... people just wanna look at this thing, drive it and listen to the sweet, sweet noise it makes.
I remember when these came out I couldn’t wait for them to depreciate so I could eventually get one but they’ve appreciated so much! Absolutely stunning car
Gullwing doors are exclusive. Mercedes said they only want to bring those back every 15+ years. They didn't even add them onto their upcoming hypercar the AMG ONE.
This was an amazing looking car back in 2014, and it still looks fresh and modern in 2019. Only way to tell it wasn't made in the past 2 years was the interior.
I saw this being shot near my house in Woburn @carWow Matt Saw you with that big grin on your face could tell you was really loving the drive 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. beautiful car and sounds amazing in real life

My main issue with the SLS is that the gull wind doors are purely form/aesthetic. The original car had a need for gull wing doors, for rigidity. This car just added them for nostalgia.
reus reus I'm talking about a pure Mercedes. I really love it but comparing them to modern day "sport cars" they aren't anywhere close to those legends. The E and C were sport focused at the time but not anymore. They just bond the S class's luxury into their sport cars, sadly. I get disgusted looking at modern C and E classes.
I've been watching your videos for the past week(also have watched a couple old ones sporadically). I absolutely love Mat's attitude and his overall appearance. Such a genuine looking and sounding person! Also, lived in Wolves and worked in Walsall - lovely area!
