RE: Mercedes-Benz SL500: Review
Discussion
Completely forgetting this model, it will be interesting to see what the next SL will look like. The ingredients are simple - a front engined, RWD, folding hard-top convertible with a big engine. It also has to 'fit' the bloodline. You wouldn't thought it was easy to muck that up, but as cars become more jammed-packed (even by M-B standards) full of electronics and devices, I can't help thinking the days of the Pagoda and R107 are over.
R230 was nice though.

Just bought a low mileage 2014 R231 SL500 in Hyacinth red with cream leather. Love the looks, love the way it drives. Love the quality, Love the awesome performance. And I appreciate that it's almost all aluminium. Not much dearer than an SLK of similar mileage & age. But a lot more car for the money. Would have cost around £40k more than the SLK55 new but all this for only around £3k more second hand. Though the SLK is excellent as a smaller roadster with a large engine. Horses for courses.
