We had a 2004 E500 with AirMatic. Fantastic car, but I don't think we will ever see a non AMG V8 E Class sedan again. That said, when I went to order a new SL, I just assumed that I would get an SL550 with the V8. However, after multiple test drives in the V6 powered SL450, I went for it. Amazing power and torque, along with a much lighter & sportier feel. Coupled with the new nine speed transmission, it really is a perfect combination. Like it or not, we have to face it: MB & others are rising to the occasion with new, smaller engines, offering more and more in the way of HP and torque. Now, they just need to work on refining how the I4 sounds at low speeds. I heard one the other day in a parking lot and it sounded like an old diesel.

I really like the way the new sl's look, could be something to consider to go along with my Audi s8 plus in Florida, something that is smaller yet luxurious and fun to drive. I've never driven one, and was never sure how to think about them, sports car or what? Did you ever compare the sl to any Porsche? Also, I guess the interior is still old style, correct? Thanks. Regards. Ned.
