SL500 at Motor Trend International Auto Show
Mercedes had a jaw-droppingly fine New Sl500 on a stand in Tectite Grey I beleive (dark gray, very nice). I took a bunch of pictures and will post them soon. Didn't get any really good interior shots unfortunantly

by the way
they also had several new cars there including the new 7 series. I must say I was extremely dissapointed in the design. It looks far worse in real life then in photos. The rear end is immense looking and does not go at all with the somewhat droopy front end. On the inside I was further upset. First of the all the wood trim does not have any laquer on it and there for has a rough feel. Give that a week and it will have dents and scratches all over it. And finally the I-Drive button was quite cheep, being made out of painted plastic. You would think BMW could afford some aluminum or something for one button that controls over 700 features.
Anyways they also had the New Land Rover , 2002 Acura NSX, Cadilac CTS, Maserati Spyder, and some Ferrari's, Infiniti G35
