The good thing about the SL is they made those till the end of 90s, so the range is pretty large on spec, and all that. I'd want a tan leather, black car, or silver with black leather if it's a more recent model. I like the older merc shape, the 124 body coupe as well, they were solid, reliable, quality german cars. Not half US/half China made current ones, designed in Japan and either cost a house or have sh8t reliability.
The new S-class (W220) is much nicer IMO than the very latest S-Class that just came out.
99 model SL500. :|\ A car IMO that puts to shame many new very expensive cars.
