M Class Road Rally, The Worst Yet!!!

Has anyone else been to the M Class traveling show? It took place near Boston this weekend and was a total disaster.

1) Not enough cars. 8 M Class cars, but only 4 were running at one time. 2 E Class. 2 C Class. No S, SL, SLK, CLK, or G.

2) Lines were too long; as result of not having enough cars and only having ONE TRACK! Are you kidding?

3) NO FOOD! Compared to the C Class event 2 years ago, this was a total disgrace.

4) No free stuff! Not even a hat this year. The C Class event was chock full of free stuff.

5) No comparison cars. No BMW, Audi, Caddy, or anything else to compare against the new M.

Overall, I was so disappointed with the event, I didn't even pay attention to the cars. One thing I did notice was a COLUMN SHIFTER on the M Class. What? No "guy" will buy a car with a colum shifter. Bad move, Merc.


Anyone else have a better experience with this event?

RE: M Class Road Rally, The Worst Yet!!!

I went to the one at Fedex field in MD. I've never been to one before so I have nothing to compare to it. There was no food, no free stuff, and my event only had M's (No E Class or C Class or any other class). There were 2 tracks, one off road and one regular. The lines were not really that long when I went. There were no competitors cars and the column shift is not a traditional column shift.

I agree with everything you said. It was a total waste of time. The most interesting thing there was the silly water bottles from Norway.

And yes, that column shifter is AWFUL. Looks like it's being put into the new S class as well. Scary!

I remember the c class event. It was very nice and I enjoyed it very much. I dident sign up for the M class event because I knew I wouldent enjoy any event unless I could go crazy in the car.

Agreed this was a bust! I went to the one in Belmont Race track on Long Island. When we left we received a 5 CD set of a book on tape about a WWII vet who dies and looks back on his past. What the heck was that all about. The best ever attended was last year a jaguar event at Lime rock race track, they served a steak BBQ and you received a bag of Car related items Including a hat and got to drive on the track!
Mercedes...take a look at the competition in more ways then one.
