My dealer has a new SLS on the floor in 054 Designo Magno Monza Grey matt paintwork with a red & black interior.

Man this colour looks good in the flesh

I prefer Frozen Gray, but yeah this is a SLEEK combination. I've always had a thing for different color interiors but Mb doesn't offer them without going through MB personal or w/e it's called.

My God that's a fugly sledgehammer. Makes me appreciate the subtlety of a Viper, which I didn't think was even possible.

I'll take an AM Vantage and still have lots of coin left over or a DB9 for the same price. The SLS is not one of MB prettier designs and is lacking a 'wow' factor IMO

Remove the side vents, shorten it a bit and it looks to much like this...

Yes, i saw it at the AMG driving event last year. It's really just too much, in all ways.

It makes me cringe to think that AMG could possibly do another total car design eventually.

seen it several times at the dealer, but sexy??? I think that honour goes to the R8, Aston Martin, Ferrari California,

The GTR offers better performance and wow factor for half the price.

The SL Black Series was a sexier car then the SLS. Take a look at the rear of the SLS and it is '97-'99 Acura CL

I'm an Aston Martin fan & would always go that way first but the SLS in the flesh is a great car. esp. in this colour that simply does not photograph.

i agree that there are better looking cars but i definitely would not call the SLS "ugly" it still looks very nice. SL BS is still my favorite MB though.

You know I noticed that too but never said anything

I saw a red one at the MBJunkies meet and that thing looked real good. It has this getting use to kind of look. I definitely agree with the GTR comment. That thing is just too sick.
Cmon I think the SLS looks better than the R8 and a Ferrari California. A Ferrari Scuderia I would say hell ya but the California isn't doing it for me.

I would take the 65 BS in a heartbeat over the SLS but I think the SLS attracts it's own crowd. It does look nice but it wouldn't be my first pick.

crappy and crappier i'm HUGE on exotics. it's basically my life. the sls is not exotic to me and i could never imagine seeing it thrown around on a track or anything. i agree with you, the slr is definitely "winning" and the r8 and california do not appeal to me one bit. aston martins are cool, but they're too much show and not much go for the money. the companies currently on top are bugatti, pagani, ferrari, porshce, and lamborghini. everyone else is playing catch up as far as exotic.
