I would agree. I think the front ends on the '03 - '07's is classic. The car looks like its moving when it's sitting still.

Love that car. I wish they would go back to the sleeker, more rounded body tone..not this all squarish front end. If a car is a she, it needs to have curves...

I like the looks of the 2003 - 2008 R230 SL cars. While I still haven't completely warmed up to the more upright front clip, the newer SLs are still good looking cars.
