| Re: Official: Mercedes-Benz unveils 2009 SL63 and SL65 AMG Why on earth do they have both 63 and 65 ? There hardly is any difference on those two! And btw, I still hate the new headlight...absolutely horrible. The interior though is absolutely amazing!

| Re: Official: Mercedes-Benz unveils 2009 SL63 and SL65 AMG I really like this car and about the front it looks nice but its better to judge on real life in front of my eyes |

| Re: Official: Mercedes-Benz unveils 2009 SL63 and SL65 AMG The 65 is just for those who want the most powerful, most expensive MB and don't care too much about anything else (remember JC review of the old CL65, when he goes to the Golf club). |

Amazing picture, "BUT" why do they look EXACTLY alike???? I really wish Benz would add a little bit more design to the SL65. Extra stripes or something so I can tell the two apart. Other then the 6"5" and the V12 badge. Either way the SL is not my Benz of choice like the S-class. Still is amazing car and better then it's competitors.

| Re: Official: Mercedes-Benz unveils 2009 SL63 and SL65 AMG The 7-speed alone would make the SL63 the top choice, but this MCT version takes the new SL to a totally new level of performance and drivability. In 2004 I opted for a 7 speed S500 and never regretted not getting the 4-matic equipped 5-speed. The MCT transmission potentially could redefine performance. |

| Re: Official: Mercedes-Benz unveils 2009 SL63 and SL65 AMG Great news with the transmission and all the new features. I'm still saddened by the headlamps, and now the new gills on the side makes me think of a tacky after-market tuner. Otherwise the SL63 is automatically in my top 10 must have cars. I think I would do a headlamp mod kit to get the old lights and the old gills back on the original SL though.

| Re: Official: Mercedes-Benz unveils 2009 SL63 and SL65 AMG The SLC will not have the new transmission coupled with the V12 turbo. Too much torque. On another note, how absolutely magnificent do these two SL's look? Naysayers eat your words! Fabulous. Please, somebody get us a technical cutaway pic of the MCT gearbox.
