If that's the future of MB's, then I will stick to BMWs despite Bangle effect! :)

The question is not supposed to be whether it's good or not- it's supposed to be if it's better than the old one. The worst part is that the taillights are what needed to be improved and that's the only thing they didn't change! This is not an SL- it's an SLK on E!

if u noticed ... they r making it like the 80's SL ... im not saying that it is beautiful ... but the M.B. is more classic than sportic in some models ... so ... they want the classic people in this one

What were the designers thinking? And when are Mercedes Benz going to start building quality cars again? The interior of a BMW or Audi is put together much better than anything over at Mercedes.

I think the general consensus is that its not all that good looking. To be honest, there was no need to change the car, as the old one looked fine as it was. And considering they already did a slight facelift on it a while back, this just seems a little wierd. The oldl one was also selling in large numbers. If its not broke, don't fix it.

The car looks fabolous from the front, you can watch it with the mercedes.de "Konfigurator", only the AMG-bodykits suck. The better looking model will come out with the complete new version of the SL in 2010/11.

Another example of Mercedes turn towards the over-wrought. Classic elegance is now replaced with image and marketing.
