Looks aggressive! Btw, you're looking at the SL63 AMG Blackseries in disguise right here.

I'm sorry for doubting Mercedes, that looks SO hot. I love the colour of the SL65 in those pics and the bodywork and wheels are just perfect!!! (I prefer SL65 wheels, 63 wheels are 911 turbo copies).

The headlights look so good too! I'm suprised at the improvement between these pics and spypics. It's hard to imagine we were looking at the same car.

Interior is great too. I love the stitching on the SL65 seats. One thing I HATE though is the sidevents! They need to be bodycoloured! (otherwise they are good too).

Here's a review of both cars (more pics too):

LOL I was about to post all of those points! Seriously, again man. I don't even know why I still find this surprising.

Kiemyster · 03-18-2008, 06:01 PM

its aight, but i just dont feel those headlights. just personal preference. i love the old one wayyy more

but fuck me sideways, id take a 1999 Sl 550 any day. god damn, that is a classic car, and by far, the greatest thing mercedes benz has ever churned out. my dad had one in dark blue, and jesus christ.... those of u who know me, know that i never gloat about mercedes.... but this car has truly won my heart! they never got enough credit for that.

Year's_End · 03-18-2008, 06:36 PM

My dad had one of those in silver on gray with sheepskin covered seats.^ Nice car indeed!

SL65>>>>>>>>>>>>SL63

Year's_End · 03-18-2008, 06:54 PM

Eh...I beg to differ. The 65 doesn't have the new 7spd DCT. The 65 is also unecessary and doesn't add anything to the driving experience, according to Mercedes that is.

holson · 03-18-2008, 07:39 PM

Those are awesome high res pics of the facelifted SL. It looks kind of weird in the press photos.

Interior is top notch just like it is in any high end Benz I think.

lol! the only "decent" interior from benz is the current S class. this interior is still a bit too cluttered. (IMHO)
