That is beautiful. Only thing really missing is a manual gearbox.
Apparently starts at around $100k in the US. Watch that Balloon out to around $400k here.. |

I’m not 100% sure if I’m into the looks of it but I would definitely love to take one for a spin just to see what they are like.

Is it 911 price? If so I think the Porsche is a better looking car. It's nice but something is not right on some angles.

The latest Merc design language is just brilliant. These guys know how to do "exciting". Luv their stuff.

I really like it. The rear end has a lot of Jaguar E type in it.

Love the Yellow. Looks like an Aston Martin made love to a 1960's Honda RSC 800 and this was the result.
Cheers Vincenzo

I can see a whole heap of design cues.
Viper, S2000, Continental GT, Porsche, Jaguar... Not a bad thing of course ;) And yes... does look hot in yellow

Very cool looking car.....
The problem if I took this kind of car anywhere, the only thing on my mind would be "how long before I can leave so I can drive it again". |

I am a fan of the Mercedes design dont get me wrong.
I don't like the look of this car, just does nothing for me.

The people who buy these sorts of "toys" can afford the good and the bad that goes along with them.
Spare a thought for Veyron buyers. Each tyre is worth @£10,000 ($AUD 18,237.80 per tyre ) - and they dont last that long either... |

Yeap...and WTF is with Merc and its issue against manuals?
I noticed you can still get manual 3 series but no hope with a C class.

I'm not sure if all those photos are big enough?
This looks pretty interesting, apparently they use the central cabin section of the SLS adapted for conventional doors, with a slightly shorter wheelbase. It still looks ridiculously long in the front though! I'd be pretty interested to see a comparo with the F-Type, Aston Martin, 911, etc. |

Just trying to go of memory, does the shape remind anyone of a Gullwing ?.......... Yeah , just had a squiz. ..... profile does seem a bit of resemblance, also the reminds me a bit of jag e type with the long bonnet.
