I think this is hilarious, and I don't understand the bitching. If you don't like the car, don't download it. No reason to make a big hubba out of nothing

what a weird way to advertise your product, on a nintendo game where the majority of the player base can't afford a brand new Mercedes.

This is hilarious and epic. It would be awesome of this real-life car DLC makes it outside of Japan. It also opens up the possibility of DLC in Mario Kart 8, which hopefully extends to adding arena-type levels to the terrible Balloon Battle mode of the game.

free and optional

Thanks for highlighting this Brian.

Driving in a flat 500 would be dope.

You know its a Dlc that you dont have to download right?
