Was going to get one of the SL500's but for the cost of the SL500, I could buy almost two SC430's!
Love to have one, but SC still has what that does only no 3 pointed star and the maintenance headaches I hear from owners.
Oh yea, today while on I-84, saw a Red ENZO going the opposite way.... Damn, if wife wasn't in the car, I'd be looking for one of the trooper u-turn areas and go and see it closer... First one I've seen on the road!
Regards,
Deanski

One in Greenwich dealer when I was looking at the SL500. They HAD to show me that one now didn't they?
Neck snapping torque on that thing!

He said he has a SL600 on order for April, wow!!  hope I can do that one too! | |

With The New 12 Cylinder Motor , It Really Closes The Performance Gap The 55 Had Before. I Havent Gotten To Drive A New 600 Yet, But Im Sure Its Unreal. When I Went To The Mercedes AMG Challenge, I Wished They Had A 600 There For Me To Compare The 55's Too, That Would Have Been Sweet!  | |

If I was going to buy any Mercedes though, I'd get that AMG E55. Nothing like a sedan with 469 hp that runs 12.39 @ 116mph!
