My friend just purchased a fully loaded SL 63 so hopefully I'll get behind the wheel for it soon.

My dealer had a 63 in Starling Blue over Macchiato, absolutely stunning.

I was a bit surprised the guy in the video complained about the harsh suspension. Not sure if this is SL 63 specific or what.

Not sure. Most reviews say the 63 has a stiffer suspension than the 55 but is still plenty comfortable.

My friend is coming from an R230 SL 55 and AMG GT-C and hasn't had any complaints of the ride, and was actually one of the reasons he bought it as the GT was too harsh for DMV roads. So far he says its the perfect mixture of those two cars in one which is I'm sure exactly what AMG was likely going for.

I feel like it’s lazy design to stick an iPad looking screen in the middle on the center stack. I prefer the integration of the screens into the dash as Porsche has done.

Too blobby with no soul made from a wind tunnel.

I saw one of these(SL55) in person this weekend. Absolutely beautiful vehicle. Much more presence in person. Exhaust sounded really good.

I don't like the design of MB's EVs but the new SL is absolutely gorgeous and a future classic.

No other car can rock silver as well as the SL. You can pick any year, any generation. Silver is *the* color to have on an SL.
