Not sure on the headlights, but am definitely digging the hood strakes as they reminds me of those on the C63. | | | | | Enthusiast

Don't like the new headlights the least. It is some sought of a bastard child between the MB's new edgy design and the old curvy design. They should have just waited till they brought out a completely new car, the old one would have done fine till then. | | | | | The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to Sunny For This Useful Post: | | | Fanatic

Wow ree, Karma given for these pics.
This new SL looks so much better than the previous one that it's almost ridiculous it did not looked like that from the beginning.
This grille, this mouth, this is just insane, it will eat you alive!
I love it!
it is even better with the partly smoked headlamps.
The Airscarf that you can see from the rear of the seat is strange!! | | | | | The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to coolraoul For This Useful Post: | | | Global Moderator

Everything is executed well except the headlights. Why? How would that get past any market testing? Someone from MB ought to be taken out and whipped like a rented mule.
Well, too late now. | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to tennmb For This Useful Post: | | |
