Worth Upgrading my SL500 to SL60?
Anyone have any thoughts on whether to upgrade my facelift 1995 SL500 to an SL60 is worthwhile?

Is the SL60 that much better?

why do we buys SL500s in the first place ?!?

we're not chasing top speed or fuel economy !

whatever your reason, it will be your motivation for everything in life...

Only you can decide if the badge and self satisfaction is worth that extra money.
