QuoteHow about a SL? I think it won the recent C&D comparo?
Too goddamn expensive for what it is.  My dad would rather buy a Boxster S, and I support him in that.  He'd get a stick with the Box S, he loves that car.

He has quite a price range there.

A friend of mine's father is debating between the DB9 and the Conti GT, and the other day I tried to set him straight with the DB9--far classier and a better performer, but I am pretty sure he will get the Conti GT. Too bad.

Too bad indeed.

So he's just in the market for any type of car? Looking at anything from a Boxster to a XK to a Flying Spur?

With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

The SL isn't a sports car. And be glad it's an automatic, especially from Mercedes. Their manuals are still crap, except those in the A and B-Classes.  :praise:

Pretty much.

Horrible dilema in which your father finds himself! ;)

My opinion might change after I drive one, but after spending some time stationary in a couple of Flying Spurs, I can't get past the feeling that its a really expensive Phaeton.  Not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, but you are paying for a Bentley, not a reskinned VW.
