Haha this is such an old post.
I hate to say it, but my neighbor also has a SL. There is no exclusivity in this car.

Yeah, North Jersey has quite a number of SL500s. I love my 55s exclusivity right now. You don't see them quite as often.

Just got bored, and did it for the fun of it, sorta felt bad he didn't get any replies . You see quite a few of them in SoCal. Even the 55's are losing their exclusivity everyday. But still, pretty exclusive. The S-Class and CL-Class, aren't as exclusive anymore.

Haha can't be that bad. Mercedes are selling about 25 a month of them in Australia. Whilst most would be on the East Coast, can't be all of them!

A few de-badged SL350's floating around.
