seems like they updated the SL65 to.. check out the joined exhaust and abit diffrent front

The joined exhaust I actually don't like and also noticed it on the new S65. It makes me feel like it's cheaper, because now they just make one moulding instead of two separate ones, but it's just my opinion.

This is just great! Mercedes updated the mechanicals and every so slightly refined the timeless styling. This is exactly what they should have done. I'm really glad to see that the SL55 keep the king kong SC V8. The new 6.2L V8 in N/A form won't cut it in this heavy car without it being turbocharged. I guess the turbo version isn't ready yet.

They're still similar to the 55's (oval shape). The 55's are going to be the same if you noticed. Only the 65's will get the connected exhaust, probably to distinguish the two AMG versions.

I'm just glad about 2 things. NO SLR nose and the SL55 keeps the 5.5L torque monster V8.

The SL was already one of the best looking cars imo, I don't see any obvious changes except for some lower body work and tail lights. I guess MB is just making a sexy car more aggressive, it looks fantastic!

There are some quite interesting subtle changes - the one I noticed right away is the moldings around the headlights and the new version has three horizontal grille bars, not four.
