I know, the SL is here to stay... but if you couldn't have, couldn't buy an SL, what would you buy??

What car would you drive instead??

I'd go with a W140 CL600 (my second choice) or an SLK32/CLK55 AMG (other choices). But the SL600 was my top choice.

I wouldn't mind an SL65 though...

I would ring up the Sultan of Brunei and ask him to sell me one of the SL's he had hand made with gull-wing doors.

996 Turbo cab., or DB9 volante, or Carrera GT ? I just wouldnt know.

It never came into my mind that the SL where not there, so it has never been an option to buy anything else than the SL.

The thought alone scares **** out of me.

When I bought my SL55 i was debating between it and the 997 S. If asked today I'd wait on the 997 Turbo or go with the BMW 650i.

Ah, I'll get it second hand. It's a AMG Mercedes, so depreciation will be considerable
