Angry 2011 SL65? ACCORDING TO THE AMG WEBSITE THE SL65 WAS TERMINATED! MBUSA OFFERS A 2011

According to the AMG website a few months ago the SL65 roadster was being discontinued as of August as a 2011 model and if you wanted one you needed to order it immediately.

"Please be advised that we are approaching the end of production for the R230 SL65 AMG model.

Due to changes in certification regulations, the final month of production for this model will be August, 2010. After this, the R230 SL65 AMG will be discontinued for the remainder of the R230 lifecycle.

If you are interested in placing an order for the 2011 SL65 AMG with your dealer, it will need to be done without delay.

But today the MBUSA website still shows and specifically describes a 2011 SL65 as being available still.

Was the the announcement that they were terminating the SL65 just a trick to sell the remaining SL65s?

No, the production of the SL65 was indeed terminated. The MBUSA website has a history of making mistakes, so I would believe the AMG Private Lounge over them. Also, I have talked to two big dealerships about this back when the announcement was made, and they both confirmed it. Unless something has changed since then, I believe the SL65 is no longer orderable.
