Oh boy is this difficult or what. I like the timeless SL, and yet the M6 sheds all of its ugliness in convertible guise and becomes an elegant Monte Carlo cruiser.

I think in this case I'll take the M6.

This is what the score page says:

M6 has more space, but SL better visibility and usability and quality is 5 points better
M6 of course harder on the road than the SL, with wins because of comfort in the ride section.

They like the engine of the SL better, because it's more economical, if we can speak of that in this class, and the way it delivers its power, also in combo with the gearbox.

Driving experience is weird. The M6 is better in the slalom, but they like the handling from the SL more. Same for turning. The brakes are beter useable ( must be different from those on the SLR ). But the M6 has more traktion. And the M6 has the best turningcircle.

value and costs the SL wins this because of emissions (who gives a shit ) and the guarantee. Base price of M6 is better though and both get appr same points for equipment, costs and insurance.

SL55 for me, hard top convertible... and PLENTY of power...

I whould take the SL but some of the benefits they give to SL(fuel economy etc is just BS)

It would be harder choice if the other car was the M6 Coupé. The hard-top makes the SL much more practical in Northern Europe.

That red interior is WAY too much.... Ive never been a fan of the 6er convertable...I think id rather have the SL in this one, sorry guys. If it was the M6 coupe I would think differently..

Thanks Rik

BTW, my personal choice is the SL55. Prefer it's exterior design, as well as it's flip top roof. Love that snarling V8 too.

This is hard...You can manualy change gears with SMG (with the paddles behind the wheel), right?

I can't get over M6 interior while SL to me is one of the world's best looking cabrios...

SL for me because of hard top and performance.

Easiest poll ever..
SL all the way.. would even take a SL500

I'm not sure that's a good comparison since these two cars are not in the same segment.

I'll wait for a real SL fighter: the new Z8.

Or a something from MB to fight the 6er ...
