SLX63, proposal

A suggestion for Mercedes.
A sportier 5 or 6 spd manual transmission SL with that new 6208 motor, approaching 550 ponies. But dont loose the folding roof!

I think they would sell plenty of them.
It would attract both SL loyalists who have always wondered, plus new buyers who have always liked the car but passed on it bcoz they need more control.

5 speed manuals are a relic of the past today, with 6 speeds the norm.

I think it would be cool. Would the X be for awd? If so, I think that would be an awesome machine.
