Spotted 2 SL63s the other day in the SF Valley!
Wow! The other day I spotted 2 SL63s on Ventura Blvd (sorry no pics lol). One of them that I actually keep seeing over and over is a White one with Keys tags on it and the other was a Black on Black. I have to say the car looks amazing! Its sporty yet classy like a Mercedes always is. Both colors, Black and White, really distinguish the SL63.
I also love the new headlights and the full front on the new SLs but the only thing I don't like is the back. The back still looks like the previous models and I am a bit disappointed at the fact that Mercedes just did a half re-styling job (in my opinion).
Anyway even though the SL63 seems like a great car, I am thinking of putting an order for the SL65 but I am not sure spending 80 grand more on the 65 is worth it.....What do you guys think?

its hard to really determine....its supposedly the sixth gen, but it still runs under the r230 platform (chassis) as the 03-08 sl's....but the entire front and some other parts look wayyyyyyyy different to be a facelift..or refresh..

Yea the refresh or restyle in of the back needs something more. The main reason why the rear looks plain is because it looks 90% the same as the previous models. Other than the rear bumper and diffuser what has really changed? Atleast they should have given the SL63 and SL65 a spoiler more like the SL65 BS.
