Hard but, Mclaren Sl-R for me! She is one of very few roadsters who appeal to me & also, a proper super-car!

Oh yeah, I went with the SLR too.. That Roadster is too hot. Who wouldn`t want to be seen in that beauty!
It`s unbeatable in the 722....

My vote goes to the Black Series. The SLR is a true excotic, but it isn't enough. The Black Series looks like a beast, and that is what I prefer.

My money I would go Black Series. Much much cheaper to keep on the road.
Someone were to give me one with free maintance ummm hmmm close but might still go with SL.

Wow..they are even in the Poll! Amazing

The SL65 AMG BS is amazing...but there is nothing like having an SLR. I loved that car from the day it first rolled out the factory. Seeing it come to an end was like going to a funeral....I'm going to miss it.

Now if you compared the SL65 AMG to the upcoming SLS AMG....The SL65 AMG would be my choice. 661 HP compared to some little 563HP V8...ugh

SL65 AMG would definetly be my choice.

I think in the States, the SLR is still available in the roadster form, for the 2009 model year.
