Thank you, I have not been able to drive the car to much, but one noticeable thing is the ride, it rides more like a sports car, my old SL was very smooth, the ride on this one feels sportier. The built in Bluetooth and iPod are the best features in my opinion

Im usually a black/silver guy but IMO White is by far the best choice when considering the 09 color wise.

Nice ride... In Lithuania, nobody still has it..

Hope that a new ride doesn't have serious problems with ABC Sport, like older brother..

Thank you all. The other day a friend of mine took it for a ride, and it was the first time that I actually heard the sound of the car and it sounds a lot better that my old 500. This one sounds like it wants to eat the street.
