Hard but, Mclaren Sl-R for me! She is one of very few roadsters who appeal to me & also, a proper super-car!

 

[ree]

Definitely SLR!! Wants to drive a open car, to hear that grumbling V8!!

 

[LaArtist]

SLR if i dont have to pay for it

 

[klier]

Very easy, SLR

 

[GTA45E]

Oh yeah, I went with the SLR too.. That Roadster is too hot. Who wouldn`t want to be seen in that beauty!
It`s unbeatable in the 722....

 

[Monster]

My vote goes to the Black Series. The SLR is a true excotic, but it isn't enough. The Black Series looks like a beast, and that is what I prefer.

 

[Gullwing]

My money I would go Black Series. Much much cheaper to keep on the road.
Someone were to give me one with free maintance ummm hmmm close but might still go with SL.

 

[HighestOfHigh]

Wow..they are even in the Poll! Amazing

The SL65 AMG BS is amazing...but there is nothing like having an SLR. I loved that car from the day it first rolled out the factory. Seeing it come to an end was like going to a funeral....I'm going to miss it.

Now if you compared the SL65 AMG to the upcoming SLS AMG....The SL65 AMG would be my choice. 661 HP compared to some little 563HP V8...ugh

SL65 AMG would definetly be my choice.

I think in the States, the SLR is still available in the roadster form, for the 2009 model year.

 

[Osnabrueck]

I was leaning towards Black Series, then I realized - you can't put the top down!

SLR Roadster all the way.

 

[Sunny]

BS by a long way. Even if the SLR is a better car, I dislike it for sullying the Mclaren name and that pretentious F1 nose.

 

[HighestOfHigh]

That car + That house = One happy life

Best looking Mercedes-Benz in recent history!

Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series

Never liked the design of the SLR, so choice is simple.

 

[CarGuy]

Wow, so close, it's amazing how things even themselves out. I thought it was going to be an SLR Fan Boy based domination voting with SLR winning at least 4 votes for every 1 to the BS. How life never ceases to surprise me.

 

[Tarek]

SLR 722s please.the world's most badass convertible

 

[Zafiro]

I want the most thrilling drive and I think SL65 BS is the best from that point of view.

 

[NarutoRamen]

The only reason why the the Black won this round was the fact that it went up against the SLR Roadster. Now if this were Black VS. 722, I'd go with 722 without a doubt.
