New SL?

Can somebody clarify the status of the SL. Is the 2009 just a facelift like Ive read, or is it a newly designed SL. If its just a facelift, when will an all new SL come out??? Sorry for the rookie question...thanks in advance

It's a facelift, a buttlift, and a better COMAND system. SL55 is replaced by SL63 (bigger but not more powerful engine, upgraded 7 sp trans).

Somewhere around 2012 give or take a year either way. There have been many reports but nobody knows for sure...or atleast not anybody that is talking.
