I would say the color (yellow), but obviously the common denominator is actually more called a "Tiggerism - "overly blatant Sirius postules on the trunk !"

I just cannot believe the dealer put the Sirius wart on the trunk.

The dealer should of used the new sirius sat antenna. I looks so much better. The old antenna is just too big and oddly shaped.

That dealer in Charlotte informed me that Mercedes is coming out with a hidden antenna. I have the trek mini antenna hidden in my driver's side hood vent and it works great.

Yellow

I just can't believe anyone would buy a bright yellow SL65.

But we all have our own taste!

Personally I think it is hideous.

The yellow 65 is in the May issue of Dupont Registry. Same dealer also has a bright red E55.

Yellow sucks. Black is where it's at.

Oh, the SL's beautiful curves are ruined, yet again by the idiots at Mercedes (dealers.)

I understand about the color, but how did the dealer ruin the SL's curves?

2003 SL55
More of the same...

The yellow vehicle is actually the owner's car (or was). The door sill plates have his name engraved instead of the AMG insignia(Skipper Beck). Honest! The interior is Black Nappa w/ yellow stitching and carbon trim. I do not understand why $3750 doesn't get the buyer the Exclusive Nappa. The black is nicer than my SL55's charcoal. I didn't realize until I pulled my alcantera gauge cover off that my SL55 has stitched vinyl interior panels on the doors and dash and not leather. The yellow car is over the top, but to each their own I say. I like it in person and the yellow stitching sets the car off. The same dealer has an SLR with huge aftermarket wheels. I think they are BfB / GfG??? or something like that with a polished Angelina Jolie lip(huge). I have seen several outrageous vehicles there over the last couple of years. I think the owner likes having his toys stand out and sometimes I like seeing the "most outrageous" extreme of a factory vehicle.

Yeah, gotta agree with that I guess. I wonder why the dealer didn't use the small Sirrus antenna in the hood vents. Maybe he was wanting everyone to know that he had satellite radio installed...you know, a status thing.

Whatever keys I grab first...
That yellow is AWESOME! I think it would look amazing with my Lexanis. Nice color-- I dont like that little thing on the trunk though, but other than that, I love the yellow one! Infact, I would take the yellow one over any other color, except Mars Red maybe. That would be tough-- or knowing me, I'd get both :p
