I'm not 100% on the design, but the performance and technology is right up there.

I actually much prefer the SLS's appearance over the McLaren. The SLR is a pointy-nosed fugly mess.

The photos don't do it justice at all. I saw one in Beverly Hills the other day, it was black. The long hood is amazing. The car as a whole is freaking gorgeous.

I'm hoping to get a chance to drive one on the track at road Atlanta in a few weeks at the AMG driving school (beginners). Not sure if it will be in the AMG lineup or not.(or if they will let me drive it) It would be nice to see how it feels performance wise compared to the other AMGs.

My dealership just sold one, very sweet ride for $191K And my shop foreman, just returned from a SLS introduction in Montvale, NJ where all the top AMG techs go for training on this SLS. And he gave me the PDF file on the entire car, it's amazing. Sorry, that I can't share this, as it's an internal document. But if I could, you would be amazed. Anything you wanted to know about this car, is in there. The car has pyrotechnic bolts in the gull wing door hinges, in case of a roll over. Man, amazing.
