It looks too damn busy...the headlights ...and the front mesh grill looks like they went to Home Depot and got some mesh on sale.

Some time less is more...

The headights are not that bad, its the gauudy mesh that ruins it. Also the foglights need to go. The SL 63 F1 Pace car is so much cleaner. Give me that front bumper, no mesh and no foglights. Same with the C63, the foglights and front bumper gots to go!!! AMG's are being way overstyled (Cadillac lookking). Time to go back to the much cleaner/Q ship style.

Head lights are growing on me, but still look to much like the 6. The mesh looks like plastic, wtf?! The back is sexy, I like th wider tips, and the new rear diffusor. I personally would get the CF package, looks way harder. Nice car though, not to excited about the rip of Porsche Turbo rims though, they couldn't designed nicer rims. Overall, nice car. It has really grown on me.

That will bring more resale value to the older models. WTF were they thinking.

MB did a great job of removing the classy look of the SL, but everyone doesn't like great design and classy looks. Take all the Ricer guys, drivin Sub's and Mit's.

Scruffy and SoCal...

keep dreaming, if you like. I own a 230, really love it, but know that the freshened car is just going to push the others even deeper. I don't think cars that are now 45/55k are going to be hurt as much, but the cars at 65-85 are going to see some serious bloodletting.

I saw the SL63 and the SL550 at the NY International Auto Show this past Friday, and they are every bit as goofy looking in person as they are in the pictures.

I almost ordered the SL63 but after seeing it in real life quickly picked up the cl63 instead. At least it looked more like a benz should, classy.

This was the 6.3 version doesn't it also *** with a V12? The issue may just be the color, the grey just looks well a little dirty.

good move...the SL is on its last legs and IMO needs to be put down quick. Bring out an all new SL ASAP so I can buy it!
