Strange thing when you Google reviews for the new C43 AMG you have a choice of the usual suspects, Autocar, Top Gear etc.. but when you search for reviews of the C450 AMG which effectively is the same car with the 7G box you get a much more varied choice from around Europe and other parts of the...
