(Perhaps you paid $40K for your Crossfire, but that makes it even worse - in my opinion)
I AM NOT GRANNY - OR SOME PRE-PROGRAMMED MODERATE DRIVER. I DID NOT PURCHASE A SEDAN TO BRING THE GROCERIES HOME OR GO TO CHURCH. Nor am I a 25 year old hormone induced fighter pilot in a $50 million dollar fighter jet asking my bird to break the rules of aerodynamics.
I am a consumer, who only asks that my automobile respond to my foot, not some German engineer's pre-programmed C++ code.
There - I got it off my chest.
I love this car - I really do, and so far I have found only ONE FLAW! And I hope I can turn the damn FLAW off.
Then take 10 seconds and re-set the computer when you get in the car... We did give you the process, didn't we ? It's a freakin' Mercedes Benz with some of the goofiest (over engineered) electronics ever designed into a car... If you're pissed about the "throttle memory", wait until you want to completely disengage the traction control...
