1. You don't have to predict the future. I just have to have a little of common sense. It's perfectly normal (or at least used to be) for an older BMW to have better handling that a newer MB. I was/is also normal for an BMW to have a better track time over an MB, unless the Benz have more HP and torque (somethimes even so).
2. And about "past MB prerogatives", I'm sorry but I do not understand you. Those "past Mercedes prerogatives" created the MB identity/image/mistique/succes story.
So what you are telling me MB should kill (well they are doing that already) it's own identity/image/mistique for what ?!
So that some jurnalist (or you) can say that a MB handles just as good or as a BMW.
BMW have becomed a succes story by creating it's own identity/image/mistique and sticking to it. They succeded by being BMW
not by being the other Mercedes with the propelar on it.
So should MB forget those "past MB prerogatives" and become the other
BMW (or Volvo) ?!

So, since the press release mentioned the facelift has improved handling for a car that already handled well, I don't believe you are in the position to say the Beemer has 'far better handling' then the SL; which it never did in the first place.

I sorry but who is BSing now.
Merc1 and Roberto you are both right. But my point was that that comfort, luxury and quality be top nouch ((considerably) better than the M6 and 911) so as to justify the price hike.
