SLS Convertible shots...Nice ride

While I was getting my wife's C250 coupe for Christmas, I snapped a pick of the SLS convertible. I must say, I personally prefer the SLS look this way especially in person. Nice but still prefer the lines of my 06...However, the sound of this thing on the road is absolutely hard on material.




OH...the C250 in person is pretty darn nice...my hall pass points with my wife is back to full for 2012...

Saw two SLS roadsters at the local dealership this week when I went in for service. A red and a black. I think the white is a better color though the red is very hot in person, no pictures i have seen does that red justice. One thing I had a question on was the convertible top, in the down position, there is like big gaping holes on the side... in the white one you saw at your dealer, was there a cover that covered these gaps? For a 200,000 car, shouldn't see holes next to the top... even the SL have plastic flaps to cover the holes...
The C coupe looks nice.. anyone getting in line for the C63 Black Series?

I didn't see a cover...and you are right there should be. I'm loving the C63 BS coupe...the AMG C63 but the BS version is killer...

I think my 09 sl65 offers more performance and has a hard top. Just as good looking. Ferrari money without the looks or performance. You can buy a 2k mile 08 Ferrari 599 for the same money. Or a 09 SL65 for almost half. Which would you rather have?

Preaching to the choir CC...I still prefer my 06 SL65 to the SLS. I'd rather have the 599, too.
