If the SL63 is this gorgeous, I can only image how sinister the SLC will look.

I'm just amazed how much life the SL has. This is a facelift and its gets treated like an all-new vehicle. The SL550 and SL63 are going be ones sought after the most here in the U.S. easily. Now the SLC is going to be off the charts stunning.

What model is the one with black side mirrors??

Merc1 · 03-10-2008, 07:59 PM

Either one with the AMG carbon fiber package?

Centurion · 03-10-2008, 08:04 PM

CF package? Haven't heard of it, the car also has black brake vents on the front bumper. Any info about the CF Package??

Not a big fan of the top up. Looks great top down. Overall a very good facelift. One thing I'm not fussed on is the side profile. Starts high with the boot, runs straigh then tapers downwards, then jaults back up and tapers down again to finally end with the raised bonnet. I'm still not sure the car totally suits the safety required front end design. No matter to me but because I believe is safety over form

Many manfacturer tried, but so far, only Honda, Jaguar, Mazda and Toyota has relative sucess with meeting those new safety regulations.

I think the MB C Class does a very good job. Also, BMW and the CS concept shows to me that they are returning to the shark nose to combat this legal requirement.

mirror, diffusor, front lips…

for the SL 63 AMG it costs 4.641 €!

Merc1 · 03-16-2008, 03:54 AM

Gulp!

I think for the 2009 model year the SL will once again be my favorite Mercedes-Benz. This facelift is stunning.
