2005 SL55 Nose

Does anybody know for sure whether MB plans to put the F1 nose on the '05 model SL55 (ala the '04 SLK).

It'd be too risky too make it look too familair to the R171.

The R230 (In USA) came out a sa 2003 model, two years later giving it a new nose doesn't bode well for all the repeat customers as our cars would depreciate by a whole lot. It is my understanding that SL's keep their body for at least 5 or even 7 years.
