Ordering tomorrow - ?s for you guys - help!
Im ordering tomorrow and couldnt be more excited. Here are some questions.
1. Baby-G - which Black is that - it looks AMAZING in the pics. I was going to go for Brilliant Silver, but it doesnt look too brilliant, compared to your black.
2. Baby-G - Which Rims are those, they look great. I dont like the 5 spoke, are the ones you have special ordered? (the multi spoke wheels)
3. IM a little nervous driving into Manhattan - roads are not the best in some places - should I be concerned.....no spare......
4. What do you guys really think about the panoramic roof?
5. They tell me my order tomorrow will be in for June, 04, which is fine by me.......BUT - do I wait for the 2005 SL55? I cant afford the SL65; are they going to be changing the 55 soon?
6. Anything else you guys can tell me would be great.
I am so pumped for this baby, have a 2003 E500 Sport, but cant tell you how pumped I am for this.....
Thanks guys.

Congrats. I'd say yes on the pano roof. Black is beautiful on that car - I just came back from Sindelfingen and their display model of the SL55 at the Delivery Center is black and everyone agreed it was a stunning car. I believe it was just the basic black. As for deferring to the 05 model there is a small chance that the nose treatment will change to look like the new 05 SLK and quite frankly I like the look of the present SL. Otherwise, I'd say hold out for the 05 as then you would probably have the last year of the current body style along with whatever other upgrades get added. It's probably just a month or two longer wait as 05 SL production could begin as early as July 2004. You also want to make sure that your car gets the new DVD Nav which is rumored to be included in all SL's with March 04 production forward.
