Two things I thought I'd never hear about an SL, especially compared to an M6:
1. It feels really light
2. It handles very well.
Bravo Mercedes, bravo.

haha. I am shocked as well. SL stands for basically "sports light" in German. Up until now, I would have argued it should have been SS for 'sports swine".

The cars are not exactly the same class, but a great deal of buyers will cross shop.
90% of the time it is just me in my car.
9.5% of the time, it is me and a passenger.
.5% of the time (or less) I have the need to carry more then two people.
When I went down to 1 car and bought my SL, I was a bit worried by the lack of seating and limited cargo room. The truth is, it is not really a big deal.
If I ever have to take a road trip with a female, fitting myself, her, and two suitcases (a medium sized one for me, and a HUUUGE one for her) into the car may be a challenge. But with creativity I'm sure I could make it work comfortably.

I would pick the SL63 over the M6 for sure.
