A pic for all you Mercedes lovers.

mercs look good :eek:

You guys blind? It's certainly fast, but it's plain and boring to look at.

I think it looks absolutely stunning, and i would definately consider it well worth its price tag and will probably buy a lower model SL at some point. They are absolutely fantastic cars.

Arnt differing opinions wonderful :)

Anyway, on topic, have you bought this car Maz? If not, then the picture seems a bit random to post!

You seem to say this about lots of expensive and exotic cars. It's a bit of a trend, if it's new and flashy you think its rubbish.

Are you trying to convince yourself that you dont mind not having nice new SL's and stuff?

I like plenty of new cars. Take the AM for example. But where's the style in mercs. No form to them. No nice curves. Just long bonnets and thats it.

I happen to not understand why you would drive around in a small fiat, people like different things :)

totally agree people like diffrent things and that's good.
The fiat served it's purpose. sports cars like these full fill a diffrent purpose and one of them is looks. Mercs and supped up saloons just don't do it for me. Each to there own.

Looks are only a tiny part, a car like an SL is just so complete, its not a sports car, its a large luxury grand tourer with an open top. It fits in wherever you may take it, it will lap up thousands of effortless motorway miles and still impress when rolling round town at 5mph in the sun with the roof down. Its never tried to be a sports car, mercedes dont try and cater for this market.
 
Last time I was in Marbella you could point your camera anywhere and capture at least 5 of these. Practically every other car was an SL55
 
I love SL55's.

Even in white it looks the dogs.

However, I would have it in silver or black with SL65 wheels.

I wonder what it is about Mercedes these days.

I used to prefer them to BMWs, though there wasn't much in it. I used to think of them as being on a level but knew I preferred Mercedes. Not sure why.

Can't remember the last time I saw a Merc I thought was nice. All the modern ones are alright. Just alright, nothing more. The SLR is a wonderful machine but it looks chuffin boring.

They all do these days.
 
his clio seems more interesting to me than anything Mercedes has to offer.

Thats a sweeping and ridiculous statement if I ever heard one. You can appreciate the technology and potential interest in something without liking it yourself, you know.

I am not interested in Lexus but you wont hear me making statements like that about them.

Only a fool would claim that nothing from a manufacturer which produces things like the CLK AMG Black Series, various supercharged V8's, etc etc, is not as interesting as a Renault Clio.
 
Should there not be a Young Asian Dude sitting slumped down in the drivers seat talking on his mobile ?

I hate it. Nice shape but White :(
 
Everything we talk about is our own opinions. Doesn't mean they can't be daft or sweeping.

If I was to say that, to be honest, nothing Ferrari makes is interesting to me like a 306 GTi, you would quite rightly think I was slightly mad, and perhaps a little blinkered.

It is the same in this situation.
