Weird that they keep referring to the lighter weight in the older designs, And this new frame at 600 pounds over GTC? That’s crazy.

I don’t want to be captain obvious but it looks just like a convertible GT on the outside and on the inside. The seats the steering wheel, spoiler, very similar…..yawn.

Totally agree. The new SL does not make me want to sell my GTC, that’s for sure. It’s “nice” but looks like a 2+2, heavier, version of the GTC cab.

100%- Sorry but that SL does nothing for me. It just lacks character and seems like two different design briefs for the front and back. Just my opinion but it is rather ugly. Perhaps you need to see it in RL

If looks kill, the new SL is a lover not a fighter. The inside LED lighting is so . . . street racer stuff to my eyes. The externals are more plain vanilla. Not my cup of tea regardless of weight, drivetrain, and HP.
