Not my cup of tea. The coupe sure isnt my favorite car but it still manages to look so much better than this does. |

I think it looks fantastic with the top down. Expect to see lots of them rolling around in Monaco this summer. 626hp? Oh Yes  |

It doesn't really make my heart go 'wow!' but it's a fair effort, I think it looks just as good as the coupé but no better either. |

I'm actually surprised how good it looks. Although, my only concern is it will look quite odd in the flesh. The SLR is by no means a small car, especially around the rear. |

Who gave Mercedes permission to make a car that's SO UNDENIABLY SEXY?! I'll take the blue demo car if that's what it takes to get my hands on one... blue and tan leather = dream EDIT: And can you imagine the sound when you're going flat out with the top down?! |

Can you imagine how lovely would be to drive this car with the roof down, on an open road, wind on your face, clean sunny sky (but not too hot) while listening that utterly, utterly gorgeous thunderous sound of the 626 Bhp? That would be just...utter, pure, sheer driving pleasure.  |

It looks a lot better when the roof is down. I'm just glad they kept the Gullwing doors. But I'd take the coupe in a heart beat over this. |
