"Ho Hum. Boring. This is not an "SL" IMHO. Should have stuck with the GT Roadster nomenclature."

I’m hoping it looks better in the flesh as I’d really like to see it succeed. I ordered an almost bought a GTC when they first debuted but when it arrived ( one of the first in FL) the ingress/egress proved to be an issue as the position of the seats are quite low down in the body probably to help with a lower center of gravity and I was recovering from a back injury and went with something more comfortable. I’m hoping the new sl will be a lux version of the GTC and with a monster of an engine which it should have. Just hope the 9G is AMG’s version.

Certainly unspectacular, I see several cars all in one. Nothing really unique. MB kills two birds assuming they not offer a GT convertible.

Mercedes did also do a great job updating the front end of the SL during the facelift and softening the overall design to make the car look more cohesive but a facelift is always limited.
But I wasn't sold on the cars looks even when we got our first one in 2013. That car was simply not that great looking.

I am definitely not dissing the R231 SL's; we had a few of them for a good reason. They are fantastic convertibles. Practical with it hard top, rock solid unlike the R230 and a very enjoyable car to drive. I wrote up a comparo when we had our SL and GTC roadster side by side and in many ways the SL came out of top.

Agree on the front end of the pre-face lift, not the best looking.
