Personally, the black SLR looks pretty good but in silver its just okay...

 

If i was spending that kind of loot, there is no way i would get a boring silver color!

 

i like that silver...but for the black i'd trade in the wife

 

 

if you spending that kind of money, dont you have the option to pick what color u want or is it just always black or silver?

 

They only make the SLR in the two colors. They may add new ones for the next "model year".


I'm more interested in the Maybachs in the pictures....

 

a couple maybachs as well

 

I never knew you could get it in black.....too bad I'd have to sell my house to get one.

 

It's so worth it...........you can live in a car, but you can't drive a house!

 

That is awesome.

 

since there are so many, can i get just 1 for FREE?

 

and a dodge viper and magnum

 

now this is a pimp picture

 

id custom paint my slr pink, not because i like the color, just because

 

I only see 22?!?!?!?!?!?!

Nice pic though. Thats a ton of $$$ sitting there.
Only silver and black though??? For that kind of
money, should be get whatever color you want.

 

wow, nice house.

 

I'll take 1 of each please

 

I'm glad they finally came in, I was starting to grow tired of waiting and the BS dealership excuses.

 

holy shit thats alotta money sittin, what if the buildin caught fire and ignited the cars, if i was that dealership id be so scared to keep so many in one spot

 

for some reason Benz's cars look great in black and "okay" in other colors. I don't know what it is. I watch MTV cribs vacation edition. Ludacris went to S. America to drive a SLR Benz. It was black and looked BADASS.
does anyone know if the SLR is offered in any other colors than black and silver? that's all i've seen.

 

at least 1 guy wanted to be different and ordered 5 star wheels. Fukin bitches and thier money and these batmobile lookin cars. j/k, i want one.

 

whore yourself about 4 times a night for every night from now until 2062 you might be able to afford the insurance.

 

might have to be 6-7 times a night cuz I got kids

 

Black with the 5 spoke wheel.

Now that is an expensive picture, so is CLpower's pic.

 

I don't know why, but I really don't get excited over the SLR as much as I would about other rare exotics. My friend is a big car nut, and when I was looking at this thread he was over my house. He says to me, ''those are a lot of SLK's in that picture.'' That car really looks like an SLK to me, which shouldn't be the case for a $400k car. An exotic that costs nearly a half-million dollars shouldn't resemble a $50k roadster, it should outdo it in every way possible. Feel free to call me crazy.

 

....actually thinking a) sell house, b) buy SLR and c) move in with inlaws.

Step c precludes a and b so no go.

 

What kind of dealership has the money to keep that many of those things in stock!!!!

 

awww crap....

i just busted a nut

 

No way to those look like the SLK. Way to long, and the door handles, to many differences. We have a few of well everything Benz/Maybach and the SLK 55 does have some similarities to the SLR, but no way does the SLR even closely resemble it.

 

I think the 5-spoke wheel looks like ass compared to the other wheel. I really can't stand it.

 

oh yeah - if I ever see an SLR around here... my jaw will drop. It's not my favorite car, and if I had enough money to buy one, I wouldn't - but damn, it's an SLR.

 

I live down the street from a Merc dealership. Today they were unloading some cls with amg body kits, all of them were white except for one wine red colored one. And They have a silver SLR sitting in the window. I cant stop staring at that car, well until i see the porsche GT sitting in the owners private parking space on the side of the building. Yummy.

 

Everyone should be able to take one for a drive. They are awesome. Car has so much power and handles the corners great...... I got to drive one up in NJ.

Also have u seen the article for the Maybach Exelero Coupe ? I'll post the link to the article.

all I know is I was all over the SLR and CGT at the Auto Show... bonafide "showstoppers", in the most classic sense...

NJ_CLS you *drove* one??? wtf??

yea let's not forget how well this car did performance-wise on Top Gear... right up there with the Enzo, etc.... I think a lot of people think the car is really fast but can't handle. negative. Of course, it's auto, but still. It's one damn fast auto.

 

oh yeah... check this out:

Personally I hate the look of it. It kinda reminds me of the Crossfire. And I hate those rims, why MB decided to choose those rims on that car is beyond me. But to each their own.

 

Yup, I get to drive lots of cars. I drove one up in NJ at an event.

I also get to drive every Benz and Maybach. I am a Maybach acct mgr.

 

I'm with you bong. I'm not saying I hate it, but there is defintely something off about the length of the front and the wheel positions. MB could have done better with that design.

 

they had to stuff a v-12 in there. so they needed that long front end.

 

Plenty of other 12's don't look like that
