Wow the prices are demented. I mean an Carrera S and M6 are like poor man's cars, with far superior handling and performance, compare to this.

The car is so beautiful that it didn't need any facelift.

I agree about the Carrera S but not a 650i so prove it. No one has tested the FL SL so until then you are just BSing like usual. The SL is a different class of car than a 911.

No Alex, his statement is completely baseless and trollish.

No need to be harsh, besides you agreed with his statement, just not on the 650i.

That's not the point I was trying to make Alex. He made assumptions of a car that's not even out on the market, but whatever, it doesn't matter I guess. I'll drop it.

Thank you very much, your point is well taken and respected.

Perhaps imhotepevil will be more clear and explanatory in his future posts...

Again thank you very much...

In Response to prices, they do seem a bit high, especially for that SL350. I wonder if they will slot in the 4.5L V8 sometime.

Ideally the SL350 would be like 10k Euros cheaper and they could slot an "SL450" for like 85. The SL350 is a little underpowered because of the weight. I guess it would be comparable to driving an E320 or E350, adequate for cruising.

I would think the 650i would have an edge in handling, because of its weight. The SL500 is a very hefty car, but does handle well given the hardtop convertible mechanism.

Even if the SL costs that much more than its competitors, the car SELLs, a testament to the vehicle's legacy, looks and abilities. I'll still be saying this is one of the most beautiful cars ever designed 25 years from now.
