Looks like an elegant G29 to me. Maybe just my perspective.

I sold it to get the Viper back in 2017 and still miss my R231. Never had a soft top convertible although I'm not against giving it a chance. Its just that an SL with 4 seats and a soft top with BCGTC pricing makes one consider the BCGTC V8 for the same price (folks on MBWorld say the SL55 will cost about $140k, and SL63 will ofc cost about 30k more at least), or save some money and get an M8C vert that arguably looks and performs better IMHO.

The R231 is and will always be an ugly step sister to me. I remember when it debuted journalists talked about how the room was dead silent with no one clapping. It just never looked cohesive and had too many awkward angles. The facelift fixed some of those bits, but they just never looked right to me.

As for performance, I don't care about a 0-60 difference of .5 seconds, to me how a car drives come first to how fast it is in a straight line, all these new cars are far too fast anyways.

That's gorgeous.

Now I just need to convince the wife that kids WILL fit into the back and a 2 door convertible is perfect for our family.

Red Bread · 10-28-2021, 06:13 PM

Definitely an improvement, the last one was the worst since the never ending R107.

Take a look at all the different features, options, packages and colors available in the new SL Ordering Guide.

Maybe he is referencing the AMG GT vert.

Not sure, confused by his statement.

stein_325i thanks for posting some interior pics. Mercedes has been on a roll lately (at least on the higher end models).

I should like this, i really should..... but just does nothing for me.....no idea why.

chassis · 11-09-2021, 09:40 PM

Pretty hot car. I hope the launch is smooth, although that would be uncharacteristic for MBAG.

Mercedes body cut lines are the best in the industry. Door, hood - sublime.

New Photos of the SL63 in Sun Yellow with the Carbon Fiber Package.

cdavis93 · 11-11-2021, 05:06 AM

Sun Yellow just doesn't fit with every car but this is bomb.
