1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

10.

11.

12.

I personally like #1 & #8

Not sure if there is regular mercedes black, but if there isn't, which is weird I would go for 12.

SL/M6
1 and 2 look the same to me...also its hard to judge these silvers without seeing them in person. 12 looks good as well but I would probably go black if I bought one after having a silver SL for 27 months.

12 this thing does not look good compared with the 2003-2008 model but it looks the best it can in WHITE.

The 2003-2008 model looks very outdated compared to this. "Head on" the old model looks very "antiquated".

Indeed....those silly peanut headlights looked fugly back in '02...now they just look really old and fugly....

If it weren't for MCT, SL63 would be a laughably irrelevant car for anyone who desires today's latest/greatest-tech perf car....

SL63 is quite a codgermobile when compared vs CL63.....those archaic-tech Parktronic bulletholes; lack of DistPlus/BrakeAssistLink/BlindSpotAssist; lack of active head restraints and poss safety-compromising AirScarf fans in head restraints; seat massage controls non-ergonomically placed at base of seats; lots of ugly blk plastic buttons....that goofy TeleAid antenna....and the ugly sat radio wart on trunk lid....plenty of non-threatening, ancient tech (and aesthetics/ergonomics) for elderly Luddites....

Guess everyone has their own taste and it is good that we have all these choices. Personally I think the new CL's look kind of gay and are more of a old mans car. luxury cruiser
