  | AutoWeek - First Drive: Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series  Don’t feel bad if news of yet another ultra-limited edition, megabucks supercar leaves you feeling a bit, er, sleepy, to put it kindly. This business of manufacturers taking what is already a world-class automobile, adding horsepower, commemorative badging, unique paint and maybe throwing in a collector’s watch (wait, you thought you were buying a car?) has become more than a little tired. In some cases, it’s downright insulting to customers whose favorite car company, apparently, does not view them as anything approaching intelligent. Mercedes-Benz must respect its best clients. How else to explain the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series, a limited-edition (350 cars worldwide), megabucks ($299,000) supercar that makes you forget its origins--it feels almost nothing like the SL on which it is based---within, oh, three seconds after you lay eyes on it, let alone turn the key?

| Re: AutoWeek - First Drive: Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series The only thing I hate about this car is the price-tag & that's it! Besides, she is an awesome machine in every aspect!
