New SL on the streets

GAMEgates · 03-10-2008, 12:56 AM

Saw this today while cruising around Palm Springs near the local Benz dealership.. Whats kind of strange is for the pass few days I've seen about 3-5 of them a day just driving around, idk if they were just purchased or test driving, but the people driving didn't seem like they were test driving.

Other than that these are some badass automobiles, they look amazing in person. Benz is doing well with all the new redesigns.

SL63 amg... ahhh

Wow that actually looks pretty good. I never realized that the diffuser was real either. It looks like it, doesn't it?

There's something wrong with the window line. It goes down when the beltline continues straight on and it makes the car look bent in the middle.

yeah it looks a lil awkward at first but when you think about it they changed it up so when the top is down it gives the car a sexier side profile. And I saw a grey one with the top down and its

Oh wait...I think it could be your camera...are you using an iPhone by chance? They warp pictures big time.

InfamousM3 · 03-10-2008, 01:20 AM

the front actually doesnt look that bad.. compared to the press release pics... i gotta see one in person tho.

Year's_End · 03-10-2008, 01:20 AM

Oh shitake! I just realized that that's an SL65! The front bumper isn't blacked out.

s1eepy · 03-10-2008, 01:55 AM

pretty hot. i wish they redesigned the rear a little more. at least the lights or something.
and yea the pic does make the car look weird.. like a curved like a banana.

I knew there was something off about that side profile! Maybe the camera like you said?

Who cares, the car looks amazing from those angles at least! I love the stance, the wheels filling the arches, the front/rear designs. It's beautiful!

lyndon_h · 03-10-2008, 11:46 AM

that doesnt look so hot to me.

jlspeed29 · 03-10-2008, 11:49 AM

^^ are you blind?

I really like it...and I too believe that MBZ is doing a great job of styling their new cars

brokemywallet · 03-10-2008, 01:28 PM

well, they have dealer plates so i'm assuming that they are test driving. they probably let the customers test drive it alone, since most people are loaded up there anyway.......

Los Angeles · 03-10-2008, 01:55 PM

So when does this car go on sale in the US?
