Default Just saw the New Mercedes SLS on the road!

571 HP, Gullwing doors, $250K pricetag.... very nice
Spotted him on the street


Where did he go?? There he is, stopping at Starbucks, where else do people go on an overcast day in Seattle?


Now if he could only learn to park it within the lines... haha

Maybe his passenger couldn't get out if he parked too close to the trees

If I'm just running into a Starbucks and the lot is reasonably empty I park over the lines too.

I cannot wait to see one in person, to see if it is indeed a dream come true. Thanks for sharing.

It doesn't seem to have much presence in the pictures being stopped next to a Prius or parked in the lot. I bet the LFA has much more road presence than the SLS.

come to think of it, you cant park this car in a moderately full parking lot. Add that to the list with ford gt, SLR, Lambos,
