Congratulations!!
I have been looking at the SL55 too. Is it worth the extra $ vs. the SL500? How does the ride compare? Can you shut out all the sun with the Pano shade?

The aluminum trim looks nice. It's the first one I've seen without wood. Very sporty. Use it in good health!!

500 vs 55 is day and night no comparison. 500 was like 7 out of 10 the 55 is 10 out of 10
