Nice job grabbing the audio with the top down - came through clear and no wind noise!

[baldheadlogic]

I really like this car again. This is car you buy just because it is a classic name. Period. It will still look good 10 years later.

I like the review and even learned about the night LOGO. Is that an option or standard equipment? I can't find it on my car

Another fantastic review, Steve, and once again your 'Hammlet™ Soliloquy sets the gold standard for ALL automotive journalism soliloquies.
One car I really want to see reviewed is the BMW M6 Convertible. Is this even possible? Does BMW lend the M6 out for reviews? They are unicorns

[azmike]

Yep, you have a top-notch camera crew!

Speaking about Mercedes -- when will get a chance to try the new E-Class?  Perhaps a more approachable Mercedes priced in the $60k range.

There seem to be some difference in opinion when it comes to the new SL, watched Motor Trend review of it a couple of days ago and they didnt see any reason in buying it at all over its competitors.
But i like it :)

I hate how the navigation screen and the air vents are off center from the raid up controls on the dashboard

[pedrofernandez]

Steve, you got the best job in the world.

Steve - Motortrend wondered in their review just where the SL fits in the M-B lineup these days. The S-class convertible is FAR more modern and luxurious, and the AMG GT is far more of a drivers car. The SL is kind of the awkward middle child now. The interior also already seems very dated, and it's only four years into its current model run.

SLs tend to run for a good 12 years, so by 2022 the R231 is going to look like something out of the Jurassic age.

It's nice, but I'd spill coffee all over those white seats every morning.

SL = sport lightweight, not super light. Funny how MBUSA rebadged this to 450, it's a 400 to the ROW.

[brandonwiley]

My grandparents ordered almost the identical car

[TJC]

Looks decent. Not a big fan of convertibles.

[mxhong]

The luggage partition in the trunk is powered now? Wow. I guess Mercedes don't want owners to strain themselves by reaching over to pull a plastic cover.

[venom]

Why can't they make this car look good? SLs used to be so beautiful back in the day, now they've just been pig ugly for the last few generations.

[miguelircontar]

Seems like all car company's are doing away with fog lights.

[afa]

Doesn't look appealing. The interior specially around the center console doesn't look good either.

New feature -- a Mercedes with Apple CarPlay.  (How 'bout Android Auto?)
