I think people are now starting to understand what it was suppose to be, and the styling is still as desirable as ever, nothing else on the road look the way it does.
SLR [Renders] Mercedes SLR gen II

The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (C199 / R199 / Z199) is a grand tourer jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive and sold from 2003 to 2010. When the car was developed, Mercedes-Benz owned 40 percent of the McLaren Group and the car was produced in conjunction between the two companies. The "SLR" name is an abbreviation for "Sport Leicht Rennsport" (Sport Light Racing), and was a homage to the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR which served as the car's inspiration. The car was offered in coupé, roadster and speedster bodystyles, with the latter being a limited edition model.

Even the CGT is now appreciating in value. The posers have enjoyed it, and now the collectors are giving the cars a permanent home.
The Enzo and La Ferrari as hyper cars are in a different league. As soon as you take delivery the value just goes up, and the car won't dip in value 2-3 years after the next hot item hits the market.
I for one love the design of the SLR. As you said, it looks like nothing on the road and is very striking.

Here the SLR starts at around £250k, CGT £500-800k, Enzo £1.3m+. Quite a big difference between the three.

The difference of price might be explain by the production number, the price when new and recognition on the brand.
More than 2000 SLR have been builds versus 1270 CGT and 349 Enzo and the Mercedes did cost half the Ferrari (€300 000 vs €675 000; €470 000 for the Porsche).
