That's why they're shooting back with the SL BS

.....

BTW, did you notice the buttons next to gear shifter (about 4 of them), that must be the "Race Start Function" the AMG website is talking about.

Not bad not bad. Makes me wish I had six large to drop on a set of wheels.

Yes. I just hate how they're making us wait for the details. It appears that the SL gets all of the latest Benz hardware from various newer Benzes, a good thing.

I'll be very curious to see how sales of the SL are blipped by this facelift. This is a departure from what MB has done in the past, and overall, I think it was the right thing to do.

Mr. M

A decent facelift that does not leave previous SL owners out in the cold... But I still don't like that they did not replace the interior buttons with those akin in the S-Class which have much better quality. Also the headlights look a little weird. But overall, a fine effort.

ALI

I WANT THIS CAR SOOOOOOOO BADLY

Cant wait for details on the new trany .... Oh boy oh boy !!

Merc... The SL is a world-class icon. MB has a responsibility to maintain that status. This latest facelift is a disappointment, and that is quite clear, as most onlookers should be thrilled and excited when they see it, and too many clearly are not... for obvious reasons. The facelift is indeed a letdown for a car of this stature.

However, that said, the rest of the car is fortunately delightful and gorgeous enough to support the facelift until the next rendition comes along. An important advantage of this facelift, however, is its rather immediate recognition factor, which is typically good from a marketing standpoint.

Now, I'm impatient for the next SL. I'll bet others are, too.
