I was out and stopped by the dealer yesterday for a look around. Not an S Class in the whole place! The floor was full of extremes, but few middle ground cars. They had a tonne of C Classes, a bunch of Smart Cars, and then the higher end stuff. 2 SLR droptops, one I think was 722 spec, but I didn't look long. The other one standard. They had a "real" gullwing, a Maybach, and an SL65 Black Series. BIG wide fenders, not sure it would fit in many garages. lol. They were asking $325,000 CAN for it I think. Not sure how the price structure works with MB at the moment. I hear the upcoming "Gullwing" is to replace the outgoing SLR, and will be much cheaper. The SL Black was to be an interm model, but from what I've read, the Black seems to be more expensive than what the new GW will be. Maybe they're just marking them up to give themselves lots of wiggle room when dealing? I think the standard SL65, if you can call it standard, is up over $200,000 here. The Black is muscular, but more tame in the flesh than some pics imply. First impression of it was, it reminded me of the days when silhouette racing was at it's height.
All I ended up with was a new oil filter, and an iPod case from the electronic shop next door. Always fun to do a little window shopping though. ;-) Ed 300E -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
