Not crazy about the front end. But then again, I am not a big fan of the 2009 nose either.

eh, it's gonna take time just like the E and probably the new CLS. I have to say my favorite one so far was the MY 2007 and 2008.

I think it might be one of those cars that looks better in person, overall I think the 05 sl65 front and sl63 rear w/ carbon diffuser is the best look that is available
