So you say. Until you produce proof of this my point still stands. You don't know who everyone on earth thinks of first when it comes to safety. It could be Volvo, Mercedes, or Renault at this point. Volvo having a lock on being the safest in everyone's mind is very arguable and not the closed issue you want everyone to think it is.

Other then the extra bar in the grill, front bumper and rear lights, I don't see any difference.

Can someone please do some side by side shots. And was the interior even touched? If so, I see no difference.

There is actually one less bar on the grill, not one more... There are now three bars instead of four. The swicth for the top was changed as well as the vents on the center dash above the clock...

Man the SL is just timeless. The few exterior upgrades make it look like totally new car. The SL is still magical for Mercedes.

Thanks for the video.

Oh yeah, those are nice!
Btw, I`m really glad MB didn`t use the SLR`s nose on the facelifted SL.
The body design is too conservative for that.

I`m wondering when the next gereration SL will come on the scene. That one
just might get a nose cone like the SLR, or something along those lines.
