i think the new headlights are going in that direction. both the CLK and the SL have the C-coupe type of lights. not the same, but similar. the e is maintaining the split lights configuration.
i saw a black SL yesterday (the second SL i've seen on the road) and i almost turned around to chase it...
and the top was down!

Both the headlights and angle of the front grill are a lot like the C-coupe! I knew I had good taste
! Now people will think a SL is comming up behind them when we do! And we save 50K, all thats missing is the rest of the great features of the SL!LOL!

It's a hard choice. While clearly the SL is a superior car it only seats 2, the C convertible can seat 4. There is a company down here that will do the conversion, Newport Convertible Engineering, 1025B S. Melrose, Placentia, CA 92870. (714) 632-3287. So while the convertible in the pic is a one off, the dream can be a reality for probably less than the taxes on the SL500. They have done some cool convertibles including some difficult 4 doors like the BMW 750 and Lexus LS400. Ask for Zadeh, he's the owner.

coupe vs. sl
i see a resembelence in the front and even the rear lights have the same clolors to them. take a look at them side to side from the back and you will see what i mean. i love my c coupe but i dont think it can be matched to the SL that good.
