    eh i agree with Johnny...the 300SL was a superior styled machined compared to this.

    I will admit though that after looking again, the S2K and CL are a close match.

    To add, in a way, it reminds me of the Z8.

    I'm not seeing the S2K but CL wise....its just the trunk. Should have made it look a lot more like the 300SL's

    Not more so than the latest crop of throw backs.

    Let's see, You have the....

    S197 Mustangs
    new Camaro
    new Challenger
    Fiat 500
    new Minis

    Compared to these, the SLS does just enough for you to know it is a Mercedes Benz.


    and Citroen is supposed to show the new 2CV in Frankfurt.

    I read the article in motor trend about it and it sounded like quite a car, not crazy about the front end really but I see what they are going for. I'm sure it's stunning in person

    Looks nice but it doesn't scream supercar like the mclaren SLR did (Im assuming this is its replacement).

    Finally...I've been waiting to see this for quite some time.

    I'm pretty impressed. The roofline looks too blocky though. Otherwise...great work Mercedes!

    Yes. It actually reminds me of a newer TVR. Not relly feeling the headlights, they break up the natural flow of the car. Interior is gorgeous and the engine is beautiful.

    I'm really loving the font end, looks hot. The rear is huge disapointment and the doors however cool, do look to be a bit impractical.... but I wouldn't care!!



    I'm not certain but I do not think this would be replacing the SLR. Looks to compete against the M roadsters.

    Learning everyday.

    I love it and I actually prefer this over the SLR. I hear they are also working on an electric version that has even more torque than the V8, somewhere in the are of 650 lb-ft. The only problem is all these electric supercars max out around 130.

    Car reminds me too much of the old SLR to be honest. I like it but would have loved to seen more cues from the old one.

    The thing with that is, the SLR was made with the Gullwing SL in mind aswell....

    I think that's why I like this car so much. I think TVRs are some of the most wildly stylish cars built.

    I actually like it. And while the back isn't particularly attractive, there's something about how simple it is that I really like.
