SL55 or SL63
Just a curious poll.
How many 55s compared to 63s have been sold.
I bought a 55 Performance and, for daily driving, I saw absolutely no difference in performance, sound, or handling.
I couldn’t see the value or rationalization of a $40k price gap.
But that is just me. Curious as to what others have concluded.

I think you can’t go wrong with either. I have had my new 63 since Friday afternoon. Power is way more than enough and I’m sure the 55 is more than adequately satisfying. I am amazed how the suspension is so tight yet also so compliant- the most comfy suspension on any of my past sports car. The 55 in Performance trim gets the same suspension treatment. I haven’t driven so I can’t compare it to the base suspension. The $40k price difference is not just the hp- it’s also for suspension, hud, suspension, augmented video, front aero, etc.

Looks like we might be getting the SL 43 if the reported information here is true : https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/ca...ategy-44501698
"Canadian dealers of Mercedes-Benz vehicles are reporting that the automaker is considering revising its strategy for North America."
"The dealers attended a market-wide retailers meeting in Vancouver held in May and noted that the automaker was fretting about consumer hesitancy over expensive electric vehicles. Concerns centered around the ailing economy, which has been undermined by higher interest rates and ongoing inflation."
"Dealers also provided a taste of Mercedes' forthcoming lineup. The event showcased eight vehicles, including the redesigned E-Class sedan, AMG SL 43 roadster, and Maybach EQS. The brand likewise introduced the electric CLA sedan and GLC crossover, perhaps indicating that it would be dumping the EQ branding to roll EVs into the core lineup."
