Post Info on the next-gen SL

An interesting article about the next SL was published today, and since it seems that it's a hot topic right now, I decided to share this.
- The next-gen SL will be longer and lighter to allocate two more seats and improve the drive experience, but will be moving to a soft top.
- It will have hybrid options and inline 6 engines
- It will be developed by AMG
- 8 speed automatic
- 4Matic on some models
- Up to 630 HP 4.0 V8

I'm guessing it'll have Airmatic since it'll be available in 4matic. I'd expect to see it in early 2020 or so.
