Thanks for the pic. Needs to lose the chrome on the lower bumper. Also, rear diffuser is just for show which is lazy/cheap by AMG.
However, it does look nice overall.

Thx for the pics
....looks like Park in the lower 50s...
Gotta love intra-Manhattan commuter cars....front plate; prob numerous scuffs/dings from being raped daily in $1000/mo Manhattan trash compactors (AKA high-end garages) and street pkg....but how else does one safely/comfortably travel around Manhattan???
Yeah, the diffuser is cosmetic..and the aerodyn-functional trunk lid spoiler looks ricer/rapperish....and the sat radio wart, Parktronic bulletholes and TeleAid antenna simply look archaic vs CL's sleeker, higher-tech aesthetics.....but many tech/aesthetic aspects of any 599/997TT can be similarly accused/ridiculed....
And most Manhattan/BH 65s are rarely driven over 60MPH in their use by original owner anyway.....

Is the pic taken outside of Mercedes Benz Manhattan? I recognize the Park Ave and all the surroudings. Very nice piece indeed.

Why would MB delay the introduction? Slap on the new nose, back-end and some new electronics to an '08 SL65, and you have the '09 SL65, one of the highest gross margin products in the line. They are in business to make money.
