This isn't the SLS.  This is a smaller car called the AMG GT.

It is a nice car. I find the styling bettter then the SLS. The question is if one would get it over the - excellent- competition?

2o6

So does this replace the SL?



It's a little odd from some angles, but overall I love it.

It's pretty sweet, but the F-Type still has it beat in terms of styling.

Hard to admit but yea. F-Type is pretty much perfect though, hardly a fair comparison.

No. According to a german car mag, a roadster version of this was aborted before birth to give the SL some breathing room.

I would agree.

This is what the SLS should have looked like, IMO.

This is also the size the SLS should have been.

I approve.

The rear, though, looks too similar to a 911. Why?

Because it looks good.

Yea I saw the SLS at a track day. This is a family website so I won't say what it looked like. But this tones that down.

No, it's not a family website.

Wow...that's sexy.

Still too bad that they ditched the 6.2 V8, but it's nice to see they managed to keep it under 3,400 lbs.  I imagine there will be a Black Series in the future with more power and less pounds.

It makes me excited to see what the SLS successor will be like.

Not bad. Not sure it's a home run but not bad. What is happening on that center console? Those look like the controls to the Starship Enterprise.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

M-B must've hired an Italian designer.  They, finally, got some passion in the design.

Love it in this view...



... and I love the interior. As for the front... this might sound weird, but it looks too big or somehow out of proportion to the rest of the car.
