Dear Mercedes-SL-friends. I’m new here and I welcome everyone “right heartily”. You could already read a lot about the design of the new SL. I, too, was terrified – especially about the similarity to the SLK. How often did it happen that I saw a new SLK and thought about whether this is the little one or the big one 🙂 But … and that’s the difference … you see a SL r231, then you know SOFORT: that’s a SL :_) After years of driving the 230, it just now has me Why? I don’t know. Suddenly I found the previous design boring, the “Facelifting” stupid and the new 231 just … great! Especially with AMG style and in black it looks like a predator when it comes to one in the city. The 230 is sold and a used 231 in view. At first I wanted to take a 350, but if you know the 500 engine, it is quite a disillusionment. So… now the thumbs crossed that it is with the m 500er works (decides tomorrow). Follow photos 🙂 Your Mercedes fan Michael
