I just don't think I could have an SL with a diesel engine no matter what the performance level of the car is. It just seems odd to me.

Actually, MB have done amazing things witht he new diesel engines. They've all but eliminated the rattle and exhaust smell. Check out the new E320 cdi. You'll find it difficult to believe you're driving a diesel.

The SL350 is the entry level model in Europe but it's difficult to see the point because it's not that much less than a '500 when you compare like with like. The fuel ecomony may be fractionally better but even now, the cost of putting fuel in an SL is nothing compared to the annual depreciation.
