It's probably the one making the dealer rounds. It belongs to MBUSA's Western Region office. As I recall, it has the Ash interior.
BTW, I attended M-B's 3 hour SL training school last week. A very nice car! ...RAB

guys - NOBODY is going to have to wait three years for an SL500. period.
the production volumes aren't exactly trivial. they're shooting for something like 9,000 units in the US this calendar year. next year will be 11,000 or so just based on full-year production, assuming they don't ramp it up.
remember, they've already WAY more than doubled the scheduled SL55 production - just for this year.

from 03/2002 Car and Driver:
they originally planned on 1800 units worldwide in CY 2002, but that's been bumped to 4000.
from 03/2002 Automobile:
4000 worldwide per year.
IMO, there will be plenty to go around once the markets quiet down after the initial speculation BS.

hey guys...
the longer you wait, the better the food tastes........Yeah Right!!!
cogratulations for being #1......so quick, even to the name!!! sl55amg!
well, the good thing is the car has been around and road tested for over two years, so nearly all the kinks are out of it...now just to get the production to work in perfect synchronicity and they will be able to squeeze one extra out for the year...mine!
