Congratulations - I'm really happy for you and RadSteve! Maybe dealers will have some 2006 models available for the public to look at on Friday. If I can see the prices and the options available I'm ready to order too if I can get someone to set a price marker for me.

Quick question....why exactly are you gettinga 2006 SL600 when you have a 2005 SL600, essentially identical vehicles give or take some minor refinements

Thumbs up Hmmmmm and congratulations...

Wasn't there a member on this forum that said 2006 deliveries to the public would start Friday, July 1st? Wonder who that was that knew that?

To StephenK and RadSteve, congratulations and looking forward to seeing pictures.

So, Steve, in the end, could you have had a baby in less time?

I am sure he can answer for himself but my guess is that he likes shinny new cars.

Would you turn down a new young pretty girl that showed up at your doorstep?

If you want to come up to Fresno, you're welcome to look at and drive mine. BUT it is Fresno...yuck (Bakersfield is worse though)

If we went witht eh Dec 03 2004 order date as DOC (date of conception), then we would be at 30 weeks precisely tomorrow, which is deliverable in a pinch. Fetrus ought to survive with a bit of intervention...but really, the car is going to be MUCH less expensive over the long haul.

StephenK--

When you pick it up, ask your salesperson if the '06 SL has provision for the iPod adaptor. Also would love to know if they have upgraded the horsepower rating.

Horsepower is the SAME on paper in the 06 brochure, now available. Website also updated, as Lovin predicted.
