Carbon fiber-look fiberglass or Carbon/Kevlar weave? Either way, agreed that the edge finishing of the fiber reinforces plastic bits is shocking! Wow. I mean, WOW.

Yes, please. Manual transmission, four (five?) door for me.

Of course you meant the title to say, "Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG looks ill proportioned and inelegant in Gran Turismo 5, too [w/VIDEO]."

Bad acting is one thing. Bad acting of a bad script is almost unbearable (to me). Transformers 1 made me cry; the dialog was so bad and the Autobots acted like a bunch of nincompoops, Prime excepted.

I mean, come on, there are plenty of decent writers in Hollywood. Add a decent script to the stellar action and effects and you have a good movie that can even stand up to some bad acting. Would that have been so hard?

Now I hear that Transformers 2 has an even worse plot and writing. I'm sorry, I'm not going to pay money to have my heart broken again. Maybe I'll watch it on Netflix. MAYBE.

I agree that white the Panamera. I had always thought it look ungainly, but when I saw the white one, I began to reconsider.

Dark colors, on the other hand, not so much. Dark green accentuates the bulbous rump (see 2nd to last photo).

I like musical gadgets.

Why would the booths make David Bowie proud? I don't see any cross-dressing spacemen.

Go back to a barter economy. You give me an iPod Touch 32GB, I give you a witty comment. See? It's working already.

Tyler Perry gave her a Bentley convertible, so we know she has one of those.

And, the Variax models other tunings, while the Robo-guitar and Dark fire guitar actually changes the tuning . . . quickly. Why does this matter? The Variax strings are still in the original tuning, and if the amplification isn't up loud enough to drown out the actual sound of the strings, you hear both tunings, which can be both dissonant and distracting.

Also, the Variax feels and plays like a cheap guitar (granted, relative to the Gibsons, it is a cheap guitar).
