Wow those are some really cool pics. Nice find! The Gullwing is really growing on me. Retro meets Modern. I like it!

To be honest I shouldn't. Its retro (not a fan of retro most times) it has the same super long hood of the SLR (wasn't a fan of that) the rear is okay (not a huge fan of it) and the interior to me is merely okay.

I do like the stance, the doors, the wheels, the brakes and the gasp heritage of the Gullwing. The AMG engine is proven.

To me, its just a very very very nice novelty car. It just seems like it would be fun to own and talk about.

I hope the next generation SL-class won't become nearly as bad as this ...
