Will there be 2010 Sl's
Dealer told me that MB will not be producing 2010 MY Sl's due to the economy. They will introduce the new 2011 body style in early 2010.
Is there any truth to this?

not much on the web about it...
2010
SL CLASS: The big roadster gets a nicer leather-wrapped steering wheel, variable-ratio Direct Steer steering, HD radio and SIRIUS real-time traffic as standard.

from Daimler AG:
Modification year 2009-1 involves a raft of new measures for the SL-Class: alongside the new model nomenclature, these mainly include two new paint finishes, the nappa leather trim for the leather and wood/leather steering wheels and a number of technical modifications.
Equipment changes
* Paint colour indigolite blue metallic (optional) replaces tenorite grey metallic
* Paint colour pearl beige metallic (optional) replaces cubanite silver metallic
* New model nomenclature: SL 300 replaces SL 280
* Standard steering wheel and wood/leather steering wheel (optional) with improved feel in nappa leather
* Electrically adjustable seats with Memory function (optional): now include the crash-responsive exit aid, which moves the seats rearwards automatically following a crash to make it easier to get out of the car
* Transmission control: car now always starts in the more fuel-efficient "C" setting, fuel saving of approx. 0.3 l/100 km, Memory function omitted
* Software update for NTG 2.5
* NTG 2.5: latest-generation TV tuner (optional)

How can there be another new body style SL???
Unless you mean the 2011 SL will be the updated 2009 style SL???
Ok im confused!
I am contemplating selling my 2008 M3 CAB and replacing it with a
2009 SL63/600
but if the SL is getting another model change? Whats the point might as well wait!

no, what it means is
The all-new SL (which will be completely new and different than any SL made from 2003-2010) won't be here till maybe 2011 (is that correct?).... until then Benz apparently is just adding a few very minor updates to the 2010 model to just hold off until the totally new SL comes in.... especially now that the SL Black Series is here... that probably means basically the end of the current SL is about here anyways....
Exciting to see what the all-new SL will look like, and it'll probably have the latest Navi/Audio from the 2010 S-Class with lane-departure warning, night vision with pedestrian recognition, and all the latest and most high-tech stuff from Benz and AMG like newly designed suspension/chassis/brakes/transmissions... AMG redesigned everything,..etc... and ofcourse probably the latest direct-injection twin-turbo engines also...
When these come out... any predictions on what will happen to the used prices for a 2009 SL65?

my dealer let me read the letter that was dated June 26, 2009 from MB. It said that they will forego the 2010 sl and introduce the 2011 in Q1 of 2010. It also said that dealers could inquire about ordering if interested or something to that effect.
To me that means the 2009 was a one year run which is a little silly and a completely new car will be introduced in Q1 2010 as a 2011 model year.
