I keep seeing the "new" style grill and I don't like it. The back is ok. Definitely needs more refinement.

that back shot is nasty. from the back shot, look how the front lines are and compare that w/ the back lines. the lines doesn't flow from that angle. what's up w/ the side vents?

on the upside, i do like the front bumper. more of a chisled look.

It seems the 2009 SL63 AMG is in the MBUSA order system. So much for those who said their wouldn't be a SL63.

Oh. My. God.

The designer needs to be executed-- promptly to preserve what little integrity the SL class still has.

EDIT: Referring to the second set of pics...

The current sl55 has the SLR headlights, I dont think this body will ever look too dated! That being said, I am generally amazed on how quickly a car can look old when MBZ brings out the new model , ex. the old S class looks extremely old now..

Well, at least I was able to calculate this quote correctly..

There is a smart (logical) explaination why there are so many dumb people in this country: It's a size problem. More people = more dumb people.

I found an interesting link to a German site that brings up latest news about Mercedes. According to them, it will be the same engine and power-output (518hp).

Let's see, maybe I find the link and picture (in case somebody can read it, too):

First picture:



Second Picture:

Just let me know if you need help translating it..
