Re: 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series unveiled

Ouch! This thing just looks overwrought. Look at the way the lower front fascia and the wheels stick out. It does look cartoonish. This is not a well-integrated design. Ick.

The mercedes looks more spaceship darth vader styled. It looks nice in interior layout, similar to Cruze/Insignia in dash design actually. I'm with MG on the gauges, not overly-impressive.

Still HATE that 200 foot mercedes badge on the front, as if you have to scream 3pointed star as if that is a classic elegant thing to do...eyeroll

ZR1 is faster and costs 1/3 the price. Looks a whole lot better too. I'd rather be seen at the track and the country club in a ZR1 as opposed to this.

Don't discount the XLR-V either. I sat in a 2008 model last week (first time I had ever seen one in the flesh let alone sat in it) and I was impressed how nice it was. I think the XLR-V looks a whole lot more classy than this thing. Yeesh! Sorry M-B.
