I think the GL suits you perfectly, Jack. Plus you can't argue with massive interior space, great offroading capability (in case you need it), towing capacity and of course the character of that V8.

The SL350 and GL550 are totally different cars but both very fun in their own way. I drove the GL320 CDI twice and I loved it!

See my latest post on the SL board. Talk about a turnaround wimmer, I was tempted and was totally taken by the SL550. It is the 2008 but for the price it is a steal.

I cannot quite warm up to the grill on the'09. That single horizontal piece with the big star just does not fit my eyes. It is also a little too NASCAR looking to me. Some partiality may be showing...:-)

I hear you. The new SL has slowly grown on me but the original R230 simply is a stunner. Man you're lucky!

Thanks! When you are 76 you don't have a lot of time to fool around with so I went for it...:-) It may be the first of next week for delivery... car is in San Francisco and has to be transported to Denver (6-800 miles or so) by truck and they wait until they have a full load with the way fuel prices are going nuts here lately.

The Canon is crying for some action...:-)
