AutoWeek - 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL550



OUR TAKE: The formula for Mercedes-Benz's SL hasn't changed much since 1989, but for the addition of the latest in technological gadgetry and a power-folding hardtop. It's a beautiful, expensive, luxury car, which is fine if you accept it for what it is--a big, two-seat hardtop convertible better suited for cruising than cutting tight corners.



As-tested price: $109,465
Drivetrain: 5.5-liter V8; RWD, seven-speed automatic
Output: 382 hp @ 6,000 rpm, 391 lb-ft @ 2,800-4,800 rpm
Curb weight: 4,220 lb
Fuel economy (EPA/AW): 16/17.9 mpg
Options: Premium I Package including active ventilated multicontour seats, electronic trunk closer, AIRSCARF, keyless ignition ($3,750); Distronic ($2,230); panorama roof with sunshade ($1,950); SL wheel package including 19-inch AMG wheels, sport steering wheel with shift paddles, smoke-colored headlamps and tail lamps, silver front-brake calipers ($1,950); full leather seating package including leather upholstery, wood/leather steering wheel and shift knob ($1,510)
