Agree, looks very good so far. I am all for the move to the soft top as well as the AMG GT-esque styling. I have not cared for the current R231 since it premiered from the looks to the drive and have been very interested in the new generation ever since I heard AMG will be in control of the development. I am expecting some huge improvements for the SL which it desperately needed since the GT stole its thunder.

For all of M-B's many shortcomings, their exterior bodywork is excellent. One very good detail is the hood cutlines. Best in the industry imo. You can see it in these SL photos, the S-Class and the W213 E63.

I don't understand the point of this when they have the GT.

The GT Roadster is being replaced by the SL. GT will be coupe only.

Yes, I don't understand the point of that.

X2. Amazes me that a group of the best designers in the world can’t come up with a better way to integrate the display into how the dash flows instead of just sticking it on top of the center console iPad style. Looks great other than that

My wife also hates their round air vents. I don't really understand, but this is another car she'd rule out just for those alone. |

I really like the exterior. But that huge iPad and the swirls and marks scare me. Also, I'm not sure how sustainable the V8 engine is, especially here in Europe. Wonder what that will mean in terms of resale at some point in the future. Otherwise, it would be the first Mercedes I would consider a possible purchase.
