More 07 SL & SL AMG updates

http://www.emercedesbenz.com

I think 3 new articles, about 3 dozen photos.

I can't wait for the MBUSA site to be updated ..

I'm liking the 07's a lot. Almost willing to pay MSRP! :P

The "z" is a typo. Should be an "s".

Loving that interior! the carbon fibre and that perforated steering wheel are killing me.

Is there anything like that in the form of the E55 wheel, or is that wheel interchangeable with the e55? (yeah, i've got an e55...)

While i'm indifferent to the new front skirt (I think the current AMG skirt is already very nice), those new 15 spoke (?) AMG wheels are the shizzle fer shurr. I've always thought the 22 spoke ones (or however many they are) are a little too much like those "bicycle spokes" hubcaps on cadillacs from the 80s, though...

man, seeing those 15 spoke rims is making me think about how nice they'd look on my e55 wagon

Actually, the photos they've posted include the SL350/500/600 and the SL55/65. The ones w/ the clear are the SL350/500/600 .. the ones w/ smoked taillights are the SL55.

Also, the third tail-light is now smoked in the 55/65.

the SL55 is "smoked" on clear instead of "smoked" on orange.. look at the difference in the pics and you can tell the difference, along with the description of the exterior mods.. the rear lights for the SL55 AND SL500/600 are all different..
