sls, e63
also just drove the new sl63 and it SO much beyond previous iterations of the sl, especially when optioned with the performance package. superlative transmission and MUCH improved handling make it, at least in a real world situation, the equal or superior to any porsche, bmw, etc.. in fact, for only a little more money, it makes you wonder about the value/desirability of the clk black. this car really handles!

A few months ago my salesman told me he sold a 2003 SL55 to someone for I think he said $58K so $38K is just criminal.

pictograms are the articulateness of the inarticulate i guess. of these two "comments", one is by the owner of the deeply flawed m5 and the other drives an older sl. interestingly, neither seems to have driven a new sl so i wonder why they have even proferred any "comment".

When you spell and type correctly, I will grace you with written english. Until then, all you deserve is emoticons. Good day...
