Restyled 2009 Mercedes SL revealed.

What do you guys think of it? I personally think it looks weird as hell. The more subtle look of the current SL's is better for their target audience(rich old men)

i like it i guess... looks bigger and bigger with each restyle. I personally hate benz and after working at a benz dealer, i saw more than average come in on a flat bed.

And i worked at a mega lot that sold 10car brands huge lots (mazda, lincoln, mercury, honda, acura, hyundai, mercedes, gmc, caddy, pontiac)


Soo, i am not being biased, just stating that mercedes are over priced, maintenance is extremely high and resale is not what it used to be...


Nice car none the less
