They do indeed have presence. A neighbor of ours has a 1989 560SL, and I do have to admit that she does look awesome...

When we got our SL600, he came down and admired it. Yes, it is a car that is leaps ahead of the 107, and it does have the same soul. However, you lose the classic styling where everything had a purpose, and you get a car that has become like your living room. You get stuff you don't need, but it is there just in case.

And the rush getting onto the freeway is amazing.... You push it to the floor, and it will take off like a bat outta hell. Yes, other Mercedes have the same effect, but when you push that pedal in the SL, you know you are in something of true beauty, elegance, and prestige.
