Agree, I have a 1990 SL, like you drove.

When I test drove it, I never realized the punch it had, and the growl from the exhaust, muted but potent.

Compared to the Vette, My little bro has a beautiful '92 rag top.

The Mercedes looks good with the Hard top on, you wouldn't know it was removable. Keith has the Hardtop, although he's never really had it on, it really looks wrong.
The SL is so roomy inside, the Vette or even a brand new XLR with the top up is right behind your head. You feel like you want to crouch down. The SL is big and expansive.

Cruising is comfortable, and you get really get it out of the hole if you use first gear !!!
