SL63 pictures...


Whats up with the 997 Turbo wheels?








I think it will have the S-Class style body colored tail lights.

The steering wheel looks weird. They lifted it right off the C-Class coupe.


HERE IS THE C-Class coupe interior...

Thats not the interior, look at the mirror... its red.

Sales would tank even worse than they are now if they put that cheapass interior in the SL.

That shifter makes me think there might be 3 pedals on the floor.

Can't be the SL interior, it really does look inexpensive.

The last interior picture is not the SL.

I was just comparing the steering wheel on the SL to the C-Class coupe.

I don't think everyone here gets that the last pic is not the SL, but the C-Class sports coupe/hatchback. The SL interior would never look like that.

Leave the troll alone... from his post you can tell his life is pathetic and he only can obtain satisfaction by seeing others just as miseable as he is... In the U.S. we call people like you "haters"...

Just like the past couple of new model Benzes I've seen in pics...I'm sure this car will take some time for us to get used to and will probably look much better in person.

Is that the real uncovered SL or a photoshop?

The side vents look like a joke...
