SLS? I believe this is the last year for this short-lived car, right?

It turned out to be a different story it stinks to read bad dealership experiences .
To cheer you up, your car is nicer than the SLS .I was in awe when I saw the W222 S Klasse sitting in the dealership exuding it's presence and style

Two totally different animals. OP has a 6 year old S550. The car he posted is an AMG63 sports car that was very limited in production numbers and will actually be worth something in 10 years.


I was at my local dealer a few weeks ago and I was not impressed by the W222 sedan. Smaller feeling interior, video game dash, feminine tail lights, and body lines that say "I wish I was a W221!" The coupe on the other hand had beautiful lines, but still cramped.

Maybe an odd comparison,but to me the lines are reminiscent of a 1962 Corvette.

You are looking in the wrong direction. Both the sls and the sl class are grand tourers/ cruisers. Softly sprung, heavy on their feet and vague. The sls black series is better, but another story.

Stuttgart is home to another fine automobile manufacturer. You might really like a Porsche for scratching your need.

Total Photoshop! There's no sunshine in Rochester ever. Nice try, Nick

My dealer had one for awhile as well, but the roadster. Cool looking car as a novelty piece but I couldn't get past the interior vs the price. And that, my friends, is the only reason I didn't buy it for $140,000 right there on the spot.
