Pretty amazing new look, this car looks good. I just hope MB don't stuff it up like they did with the bland CL.

I've actually been pondering about the same thing too. I wonder how they'll re-do it... and somehow I have a feeling they might mess it up. Tough car.

That look like crap.

It's an SL with CLS headlights

They just did a mini-facelift for the 07 SL's, I doubt anohter minor facelift is coming in 09.

No doubt. SL w/ CLS headlights looks ugly. They aren't doing that, *ever*

Nothing right now- am in college.
It likely won't be a minor facelift in 2009. This generation of SL started in model year 2003, so by 2009 it'll be due for a complete redesign.

Correction, 2002 MY outside the North American market. So by 2009, assuming, it'll be a 2010 MY, it'll be 8 years between MYs.
