Congrats! Huge upgrade for sure! The only issue is you live where snows all the time!:P Hope spring comes early so you can take it out with the top down. Enjoy!

I'm interested to hear why you switched and what your thoughts are between the two cars.

Honestly there's zero comparo to the R230 from roof line to tail pipes I'll never warm up to the 2013's

Thanks - I'll post some up when the weather is good enough to really push the car, but one telling tidbit is that on the test drive (with ~24 miles on the car, so I wasn't too wild), I felt comfortable enough with the grip / dynamics to consider trading my Black Series for this car.

Already managed to sneak in a top-down day when the sun was out!

This is one car you really HAVE to see in person. The angles / lines are genuinely different than they look in pictures.

the new SL is pretty much you hate it or love it.

I love what they did to the rear section but that front end...just can't get over it.
