2006 SL 550
My new RED SL 550

I just traded my 2004 SL500 for a 2007 SL550. WOW! It is like a new model. Not just the incredible engine but EVERYTHING ! The steering is smoother, more responsive. The ride feels better. I even like the brakes better. If you get a chance, drive one.

Just Ordered

Yesterday, I bought the new SL550 Anniversary Edition. It should be here in the next two weeks. I test drove the '06 model with 300hp and thought it had plently of power. This '07 model with 382hp should be awesome.

It is, it is!
You will love it!

Although one member here, thought that the 302 HP SL500 engine was "pathetic".

2005 SL500
Enjoy the new SL550. Now, I'm starting to get the itch to upgrade my 2005 SL500. With only 2400 miles on it, I don't think my spouse will approve, however...

I went from an '05 (3800 mi) to the '07 SL. And I convinced the wife by telling her that I HAD to sell the SL500, now that the SL550 was out. Or we would lose more money on it later on. It worked. (of course she's just a nice person anyway!)
