you just beat me to it. Why does the passenger leather seat look so worn already???
This picture also make the driver seat look a little worn too 
You should make AM replace it
thats ****ed up.. Maybe it just the quality of the pictures you took... You took better pics of your SL600!!

DROP DEAD GORGEOUS CAR - Mercedes has NOTHING on this whatsoever.
Shame you didn't get 'British Racing Green'
This car must have set you back a huge wedge of cash?

I spent a lot of time on the SL600 pictures getting rid of things like this in a software program. I was too lazy this time.

It is all about the performance...
The pictures made me look at the leather again and I can assure everyone that the "worn look" is only a light reflection off the grain. The seat is in perfect condition.
Maybe it is me but when I owed my SL600 I was so concerned about the looks and perfection of the interior. With this car I don't even think about it because it is obvious that the purpose of the car is the performance of it. The drive is all I ever think about.
This car has brought a whole new dimension to the phase "let's go for a drive."

congrats... nothing more fun that driving with those paddle shifters! Every time I'm out in NJ visiting my brother I drive his car... I also love that fully hydraulic clutch and the little hydraulic motor sound the car makes when ever you open a door.. Too cool. The other amazing part is the carbon fiber construction that is easily apparent when you pop the "bonnet".. Congrats again dude!

Definately one of the best looking things ever made. Nicer then anything MB has to offer.
If I won the lotto tomorrow, a Vanquish S would be one of the first cars I'd buy

this is a serious money car.

You might not remember driving your SL600 for the first time. You will never forget the first time you drove the Vanquish S...and it only gets better.
