06 Sl ?
I love my 04 SL. Has any one heard when 06 will go into production or what might be in store for it?

The 06 SL's go into production next month with deliveries to the dealers expected late June/early July.

I understand most people believe that no major changes are expected.

I was under the impression that the 06 models will be getting a facelift, as we have seen from the pics taken by Branda Priddy & Co. (The redesigned front bumper and grill part) Is this being postponed until MY07? Seems strange that Mercedes would already have a prototype of this if it is for MY07. Any clear ideas on what will happen?

And there is some very slight difference in the lower part of the front bumper around the fog lights. So minimal I couldn't tell until I put the pictures side by side.
