Sounds very confusing for customer now.

CLC, SL, CL, CLS and now SLS. They should have given it a proper name to make it sound more exclusive rather than yet another addition to the Benz lineup.

I think that everyone will know it by the name Gullwing than SLS anyway because in reality that's what this car really is.

Pagani will become famous soon enough
The engine choice is very sporty. I hope it's weight does not exceed 3,700 lbs, to keep things sporty. If price is not north of $200,000, they may have a winner on their hands.
