BS SL and SLR together at the DS!

The wife and I were shopping around at the local MB dealership and this is all I could look at...wishing, wishing, and wishing. Sorry about the photos but I took them with my phone.

Thanks for sharing!

The SL65 Black is very aggressive looking, but the SLR is just wicked over all.

SLR all the way!!

Up close and personal I would definitely take the BS but I guess if I had no choice the SLR would do .

There's both @ my Dealership in SB, after seeing the SL BS in flesh, the Vert SLR 722 barely got a second glance from me, come to think of it I didn't even take pix of the SLR lol...(SLR 722 has been sitting @ DS for about 4 months now)

Both have hideous wheels INMOP, SLR 722 w/decent wheels is another story

Didn't even look. My wife was already getting impatient with me talking to the sales rep for so long The sales rep was trying to convince my wife to purchase the CLS63...good luck with that. The wife and I are starting to shop around for a S550, lots of great deals out there...used is the way we're going.

I heard it was closer to $30k but after one drive in the SLR, it becomes well worth it
