The new generation SL: Sportier than ever

The SL 350 is powered by a newly developed, highly responsive sports engine boasting an impressive output of 232 kW/316 hp yet returns a fuel consumption figure that is 0.4 litres per 100 kilometres lower than its predecessor (NEDC). The SL range will now feature two six-cylinder models in the shape of the SL 350 and the new SL 280 (170 kW/ 231 hp) as well as the familiar SL 500 with a V8 engine and the top-of-the-range SL 600 with a V12 powerplant.

"Sportier than ever" - I have to disagree. I think they have *taken away* the sportiness of the car with that front end. It looks like a c-class from the front - MB seems to be under the impression that their molded headlight design looks good on all the body styles. It really just doesn't.
