PS: So what did you think of the berry red under silver? Too much, just right? How bright is the red?

the silver/berry red contrast(not so strong)makes the car even more gorgeous. the car looks great from any angle.

I'll try to pass by and check it out if I have time. Hope they still have it when I do.

The closest I've been to an SL55 was at the NY Auto Show at the Javits center (I think it was in April), where there was an SL55 on a revolving platform but no one could get really close.

Is it in the showroom or is it one of those that they park outside to show it off?

Thanks for the info.

Damn,

I dropped my car off and Tuesday and didn't even notice. Well, supposed to pick it up on Friday, I'll look for it then.

Anyway, saw at least 4 of them in MBUSA's parking lot last week. Even saw one test mule that looked a little ragged.

Also saw a Maybach under a car cover. Makes my S look like a midget.

If anyone is in that area, it is worth the visit. I've seen all the new E's, a G55, and all the new SL's before they have reached any dealer.

Hey mbakshi, are you the doc's kid. My wife used to go to him when she was a kid and my inlaws are good friends with them.

I live in LI and work in Northern New Jersey. About 15 min from MBUSA's Montvale headquarters.
