Talking My SL450 is Finally Home

Earlier this evening, I picked up my 2017 SL450 -- which had been on order since June. Attached are a few pictures. For those who might be curious, the paint is Selenite Grey Magno (matte finish) and the leather is Saddle Brown Nappa.

The car drives like a dream, the engine sounds fabulous (throaty and gurgling), the comfort is amazing, and the vehicle overall is a technological marvel.

For those wondering how much -- let me just say it was "North of $100K", but one gets a lot for the money.

SL400
looks great

i really like the tan leather - but it only suits certain colours..........

my Mrs got a brand new(UK SL400) Brilliant blue - with black leather
there were no choices it was already there at the dealers - but with a HUGE discount!

We love it!!!

That was a long wait. I hope you love it as much as I do my '16. Every time I hit the start button it makes me smile. I have 5500 miles now and just want to keep driving it. I'm not a matte finish fan but your combo looks great. It just needs more of the saddle material and less black. ENJOY!

2017 SL450
Congratulations on your new baby. I was thinking of ordering my '17 SL450 with the Gray Matte finish also, but ended up chickening out and ordering it with Gray Metallic paint and the Bengal Red/Black Nappa leather interior with the Satin brown Poplar wood trim. The car was ordered about mid-last month and will be here in time for spring. Can't wait. Good luck with your new car.

Congrats!

Seriously love the color combo with the wheels, great curb appeal. Enjoy the ride, and the drive!
