Perfect. Linked to the past but in line with current technologies. Handsome, classy, cool.

Except the back. The latest models look more and more like lizzards

You must have strange looking lizards where you live!

I can't help but think that it's getting harder and harder to distinguish Mercedes from Chryslers, even after the split-up. smdh...

Any rumors the V6 SL will come to the U.S.?

My 2007 SL was the best car I ever owned and I would consider a new SL (my rep called me today) but a V6 is more than sufficient with gas prices on the rise.

A real mess.

EX-BEEMER · 01-12-2012, 05:40 PM

The front end is too bullnosed, the dash is just a series of pods, and the aggressive door panels don't match the other bland styling ques. It's a mismash of an SLS and an SLK... and a poor one at that... not feeling it. (and I'm not just saying it because I'm an R230 fanboy)

This new version of the SL is a winner. Strong, powerful in appearance and technically advanced. A worthy successor to past SLs inside and out. Superb.

It's another beautiful entry in the SL line up but as for front end exterior aesthetics, I think the last gen (facelifted) was and still is absolutely stunning. I will say this though, the new interior is gorgeous!
