Ahh the only MB product that I really like. Anywho, I'm not much into red cars but I love the red interior.
I think the black with red interior is a better combo, real classy. (I'm bias to black)

It's not the sunroof, it is the roof.

For a slight extra charge, the roof can be supplied in glass.

I'm not sure why you would want this in a convertible, but there you go. If you want it, you got it.

I've read a scientific report saying that if a person is placed in a room consisting of purely red walls, red furnishings, red everything, the person WILL become psychologically crazy in 48 hours.

The black carpet helpls a lot, as I observed several pages ago, and that is a big improvement.

Now can we do something about that Fisher-Price steering wheel?

It sounds interesting, but the fact that the BMW is even worse does not make the one in the MB look good.

It still looks like a toy to me, or like someone . . . oh, who cares?

I've never been a fan of unnatural colors and tones in the interior - especially when it comes to leather. Leather should only be tanned to various degrees of grey or brown.

But - this IS an SL AMG - so you know I'd take it.

.... I can't promise that I wouldn't change the interior first thing.
