No 2010 SL?

I've searched and can find no mention that Mercedes is skipping the 2010 model year in the US with the SL. But most sites only have the 2009, and mbusa.com now has the 2011. So no 2010?

I went into my local Dealer near my office in North Carolina. He did confirm 2010 was skipped and went straight to 2011.

If you go to benzinsider.com, then search for 2012 sl you will find several recent articles on the new version. So far in the spy shots it looks exactly like the current one.
