The Merc interior is amazing! I love it!

One thing I do not understand about the "facelifted" SL, is that why did they not change the rear? I mean, this has gotta be the biggest "facelift" ever. But, changing the front totally, and leaving the rear...looks kidna weird to me... Am I the only one who thinks that?

Why changing something perfect? The front had to go because the round headlights and little grille were not up-to-date, but the rest of the car is still gorgeous without any modification.

Dont think the 7er fl was as dramatic as the total redesign of the sl front fascia, amongst other things. But in terms of result effects, the fl 7er was absolutely spot on IMHO. Totally love the 7 fl. Thot the pre fl 7 was fugly

The SL is still king here and just like I said the facelift is looking better and better with more non-MB taken pics. Yikes the Porsche is hot too, and the 6-Series convertible is a keeper also. These are the reasons the Germans own this market in the U.S. The other car missing it the Jaguar XK.

I can't stop looking at the pics. The SL really looks great. Looks very futuristic. I don't think it is even arguable anymore what Mercedes' best car is. Nothing else they have is as enduring.

Well the convertible treatment saves the 6-Series lineup IMO. The Coupe is just well, doesn't work IMO.

I like the colour on the Porsche, the 6er on the other hand is still a very ugly car.
