I mean, the iPad alone is sexier than the Zonda and DBS. Even hawter than Kate Beckinsale.

I should post an iPad pic in here. Too bad it has no wheels.
Maybe "someone" should change your avatar back to an iPad.

I can't. It'd be an NWS image...Don't want any of you fired for such a pic.

if we're all in understanding that we're just giving each other sh*t about reposts, that's fine. of course, we don't want this thread to be inundated with the all over the place. if it's just of a 'jab'-like nature because a photo was reposted within some recent timeframe, then it makes it a bit -like of nature. /rambling

I'm disappointed with the new SL, period. They ruined what was one of the most hallowed and dear legacies in automotive history.

the culmination of the lineage and ultimate expression of the lineage, IMO.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. While the interior is downright gorgeous, the exterior of the new ones are

^Those SLs look great but those ARE the Black Series. I'm sure the new Black will be insane like those are.

The Black Series SL is legendary. There's been a black one sitting on our Mercedes dealer's showroom for so long. I remember it was in there in September 2010 when my mom got a GLK. I was in there last month, still there. Can't seem to sell it. $300,000. Wonder why.

And I agree...the new SL is a tragedy. Maybe they can fix it when its time for a MMC.

Yea, the new SL is hideous. I think if they reworked the headlights it would help tremendously, but the last gen is still miles ahead aesthetically speaking.

Yeah I know it's the black series.

The new model is not going to be saved by a black series. The main culprit of the fugliness is the headlights. Along with the general body curves and such. Things which won't be saved by the black series. It's a crying shame.

^Sadly I think you're going to be right. It's going to be VERY hard to top the old Black.

Because they're terrible cars off the track. They have a horrendous turning radius, they ride very harsh just like the first Black Series did & there are sooo many better cars out there. $300,000 can get you into just about any Porsche, a Gallardo, or hell, even a well equipped 458, all brand new.
