Give it time and I think we may all grow to appreciate the new look. Maybe a bit envious. Hmmm? We'll see...

The new SL maintains most of the 03 to 08 styling cues and body lines. The interior is virtualy unchanged. I would not feel inferior parked next to one of the new 09's. I'll bet most non SL owners won't even notice the difference.

I would consider getting one only if it were a good deal.

It doesnt look that bad in red or white but it looks ugly in that silver color.....I gotta say tho the back of the SL63 is nice and not that bad but that new front still has to grow on me.........

Wow, the rear diffuser and spoiler is done in CF? That's very impressive. Scuderia, anyone?
