This looks like the SL update
This is the most revealing view of the SL facelift that I have seen. I like it...but I think I like mine better......

The ad agency must have gotten the photos mixed up

i just dont get this update. The headlights are ugly, the design does not flow and looks like a retrofit.
How long before the SL is updated with all the bells and whistles from the S and the CL?

Wow, that's too close for comfort.
When I saw pics of the new CL I said it looks horrible and takes away the elegance. When I saw it in person I still thought it looked like crap. Then I saw the CL63 and I thought it was beautiful, badass, and classy.
With this SL, I think its a mockery of what MB stands for. This looks like a kiddy car. Where is the class, the prestige?
Why change it in the first place? Honestly, wtf?
Who knows though, maybe the real thing will look hot and modern in person?

I Agree with you Guys, WTF!!
I believe it looks a lot better in a light color, like Silver, but don't know why.
Initially, Change is Hard to Accept. I feel we will Accept it as Time moves Forward.
Hey, it just makes our SLs A Lot More Special!!
