i checked out the online brochure and for some reason they didn't include those two options on the sl55. does taht not apply to canada and we still get sl55 with those options. if not, that will suck considering the price increase of 3000 dollars on the '05 compared to '04 and we still get less goodies with teh car. can anyone confirm that please?

No, they are both options in the US.

Hello good afternoon,
(it's evening already in Europe)

Bixenon and Parktronic are standard items in Europe (France) and I am really surprised that on the taff American market - these two features are an extra.

So maybe if you compare an European car (with all the standard equipment) to an American version - there will be not so much difference in price any longer....... but who knows ???

Nice Saturday evening to all of U
kind regards from France

That's correct, these items are optional in the US market. I wish it were standard.

but they were standard in '04 model, and i dunno if my saleperson knew of this, but when i order sl55 '05 model, he specifically told me that those options are already included and could not be purchased on the computer for it is standard on all '05. This really confuses me, the brochure saying it's optional and his computer, which is processed and so the car is made already and awaits delivery, saying that those options cannot be chosen for it is standard. I mean, bixenon i could care less because i dun like highbeaming ppl cept those smartass who change their headlamps so they look like high beam with their lowbeams, but parktronic is something i couldn't stand not having int eh car.

any comment is appreciated

The bi-xenon is standard on the SL600 and SL65. The parktronic is standard on the SL65. But, these are both options on the SL55. I should know, I just bought an '05 55 last month.

shiznick's sl65 does not have parktronic, unless iam missing something or at least i dont see it in the pics he posted.

Sorry, only bi-xenon is standard on the 65.

Schiznick

Xenon's yes, parktronic no...... but it should be standard!

i'm getting so many versions of what is standard from this thread, hmmm is there one definite answer to all this.

but just referring to wut i said, were bixenons and parktronic standard in sl55 in '04 models tho.
