No one has ordered their '06 cars yet. I asked at my local dealership the other day and they said it was too early for them to take an order for an '06. They said they would get back to me soon with a date when I could place an order. Until then, no one knows for sure what the differences are between an '05 and '06.

none
The front grill will only have 3 bars.. the AMG package will be slightly different. Other than those two minor details the 06 will be the same as the 05.

Your dealer is not correct. My dealer is capable of ordering 2006 SL's now and the ordering guidlines are in the computer.

It is possible that your dealer can not order an SL because they don't have a slot but they are available to dealers that have slots and NETSTAR is capable of taking orders.

I personally know of 2006 SL's that already have P.O. numbers and are in B3 status which is the status where you can't change any options anymore and the car is weeks away from production.

Did they tell you anything about the 06 changes/options?

Well, then I stand corrected. But back to Tico's original question, anyone who is ordering an '06 now is doing so without knowing what the cosmetic changes are for '06.
