Is this a picture of a new 2004 SL55?

I found this one on the MB canada website.
Looks like the Mile Malagia car but it was under the SL55 heading.

Are these wheels going to be the new stock wheels?

The 2004 SL 500 is definitely on the Canada site - it references that the SL is the 1st sports car to have a 7-speed transmission.

This is not the 55! Look at the tail lights.

Oh, I thought it was photochopped since the wheels on the blue SL are still.
