SL without a doubt. I'm not a big fan of Cabrio's unless it's a hardtop one...so SL wins by default. But then again, I'll choose it regardless because it's WAY better looking than both of those other ones combined.

Re: [scans] AMS: SL 350 vs. XK8 4.2 vs. 911 Carrera
I have test driven the new SL 350 and is crap. The engine is just underpowered and not to be in a car like the SL. The torque is bad and you really have to rev it high to get some power out of it. I mean even my C320 CDI is more aggresive than this.

This is really for oldtimers and not for young people. SL really has to be a 500 or an AMG.

Re: [scans] AMS: SL 350 vs. XK8 4.2 vs. 911 Carrera
^Interesting,since reviews didn't complain about the power this V6 has more hp than the old 5.0l V8 but short on torque of course so it explains the must-rev it treatment.And yeah i agree the SL should be had with a V8 to really feel it.
