Exterior changes :
- New Rear Lights (AKA R171 SLK style)
- New Rear Bumper for non-sport models
- New Side Skirts
- New front bumper (fender)

I would imagine that there are some interior changes too if they have done this much to the exterior.

Much to the exterior? I don't see that much.

The side rear view mirrors look like they may be automatic in pulling in.

Very minor changes, nothing appriciable. I'd rather wait for the new 2007 model.

Why, so you can have a car that looks exactly like the 2006? The new SL won't come for a couple of years beyond that.

Are you sure about that? This model has only 3 years.
