SL55 vs 911 Turbo Article in Top Gear
The full article from Top Gear Magzine has been scanned and posted on a Porsche forum. Some of the responses to the article are fairly hostile, so reader beware. It seems like a well balanced article. Go here to view:

It's amazing how the SL55 is being compared to all those other cars like the Vanquish, Ferrari, Lambo and the GT2. I mean the rest of those other cars costs a minimum of $200k and the SL55 only $120+??? Now that's what you call a bang for your buck IMO!

That article makes me want an SL 55 more than ever. I am first in line at my dealer for an SL 55, but due to low SL volume in Alaska, I probably won't see the car until sometime in 2003. I am taking delivery of an SL 500 next month, and I know it will be a great car, but the SL 55 is clearly in a different league.
