Talking Vertical doors
I heard that vertical doors (like on the SLR) will be an option on the new SL. Can anyone verify?

Can you tell us where you heard this?
I've read dozens of pages of info about the new SL and haven't seen this mentioned.

That's the SLR.
Those doors (along with a couple extra bells/whistles) will run you an extra $100,000+ over the cost of the SL500!!
