Soooooo,
back from holiday, one week on a famous german island, 2000 km later and still happy.
Here some real life pics, there has been heavy rain, lots of sand in the air and so on, but the car still looks like new, the colour is just amazing! You can see the dead insects on the front...
Break dust? Nothing! Beside of the fact that they do slow down the car really effective they stay clean, the rims are not effectied in any way.
Here is one more pro for the gullwings! No problem opening the door completely in this clearance... oh man, when i think about the people who complain the usability...
In front of the hotel... alongside with an old Rolls.
And here it is: The boring, ugly and so extreme common looking dashboard. You can find this in some way in every other Merc, even the the shift control lights above are a one to one copy from that of the A Class... really... not... It looks just perfect, seeing the speedo and tacho needles running up. I can not remeber any recent Merc having something like this. The symbols are hidden and only appear (like the parking break sign on the right) when used.
More pictures and a first review comming soon!

The SLR still looks very fresh. In my opinion the should keep it and do a major facelift specially for the interior. This car with a new engine... Merc would have two real dreamcars and no fear, that they rival, they both have there own place. Don´t forget: the SLR is about twice as expensive!
In many ways the SLS has copied things from the SLR. I have some pics from the SLR SM edition, i will post them later.
