![]() I'm honestly waiting to see this car quite eagerly... If a V6 can produce such decent numbers, there is really good reason to downgrade (for environmental reasons). Besides, my dad is getting on with age, he would probably prefer a boulevard cruiser than a outright sports car (our Sport GT).

So, what makes me think the SL350 isn`t equipped with ABC suspension, a faster steering rack and quicker breakes like it`s bigger brother the SL550. I`ll bet the 550 is more driver oriented.., whats your opinion on that..

![]() That said, the car didn't handle badly but I was simply expecting more based on the positive reviews.

![]() I think the SL350 might actually handle a bit better than the SL550 because of less weight upfront (lighter V6 compared to the V8).
