Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

I came home from work and saw this parked on the street.

Sorry for the somewhat crappy pics. It was taken from my POS Pre.

I was somewhat...underwhelmed especially considering it's price tag

True. Unfortunately, the owner was nowhere to be found or I would have pestered him/her into opening the gullwings LOL.

I think it looks pretty good

For me its better in reality than pics. The gullwing doors are cool too.

Plus its a bargain compared to the slr, which does have a stronger presence than this car, even today.

There was a black one trailing me on rt22 in Bridgewater this past weekend. Personally, I also think it's ugly and would MUCH rather opt for the SL65....not that I have the ability to afford either.

I dont know abt that EVO... with that being a 4G area, i would figure they really would want you to have one, so you could be braggin all about the 4G advantage!!!! They are blowin it big time!!!

IIRC it was burgundy colored. It was right before dusk though so I'm not 100%.

i like from the doors front. The rear trunklid area reminds me of the sc430. Give me a 911 anyday over that.

I agree, from the front it looks menacing and from the back meh.

Somewhat like the Panamera?

Saw this on the road on the way to work the other day. I nearly plowed into the car ahead of me...I think it is dropdead gorgeous...

I would not have any quibbles slapping the Pope to get one. Or Mother Teresa (if she were alive).

I've seen a black one. It changed my perception.

Before that it seemed cool but too much of an extra sporty, extra exclusive SL63 (rear drive MB coupe with a 6.2 liter and the cool transmission).

But in real life, wow. It looks like it kicks 911s around....simply for fun! It seems every bit worth it compared to any of the Aston-Ferrari-Lambo types that I could get for that much.

I like it. I'm a sucker for that long hood, cab rearward design and the gullwing doors are sweet. What bothers me is those weird nodules on either side of the rear license plate. Are those there on all of them? I don't remember noticing that on one in person.

Does not look good in white. The silver one making the car show circuit was much better.

Love that car, I'd take it in Red.

I wonder why it's parked on the street though. Looks like a pretty narrow street too.
