First up, they take a closer look at the SLS AMG, which is the successor to the iconic 300SL Gullwing.

They also appreciate the car's advanced technology, which includes features like a navigation system and a premium sound system.
Next, the team turns their attention to the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander. This crossover SUV is designed for families and offers a spacious interior, reliable performance, and an affordable price point. The team takes the car out for a drive and notes that it handles well and is easy to drive. They praise the car's smooth ride and responsive steering, which make it a pleasure to drive in all conditions.
Inside, the Outlander offers plenty of space for passengers and cargo.

Overall, the team is impressed with both cars, though they note that they serve very different purposes. The SLS AMG is a true performance machine that is designed for enthusiasts who want the ultimate in speed and handling. The Outlander, on the other hand, is a more practical car that is designed for families who need a reliable vehicle for commuting and running errands. Regardless of which car you prefer, the team concludes that both offer excellent value for their respective price points.
