From the first time I saw the SL, I thought that the Germans must have hired an Italian to draw it.

We would say... bella macchina

Even though it has been around for over six years now, I still think it's hands-down one of the best looking cars on the road today. Truly a timeless design.

AMGfan, The first thing I noticed in your pic was not how sexy your car is but rather how close the bicycles are to it!!!! I cringed a little bit. It's funny how we as AMG owners/enthusiasts notice anything that might cause harm to our vehicles. LOL!!! Then I noticed how sexy the 65 is!!!

agreed. Even though it's not as exotic per se (in that it is not as rare, exclusive, and unaccessible) as many modern supercars it is one of the few cars that I think looks absolutely brilliant from each and every angle, others include Aston Db9, lambo Murci, Maz mc12/Gran Tourizmo, F-360/430/f40/enzo, Pagani Z and porsche CGT/959/996 & 7 GT3RS...I'm sure I left out a few...but those are some of my favs

I Love this look too...however I have to throw in that the 07+ CL with all its windows down is just as clean/sexy/awesome looking and gives us a run for our money for sure!

I have to agree that rear window down along with the front is such a nice touch
