SLR cuz it looks exotic, SL black looks a bit tacky unless you know what it is, and SLS haven't grown on me yet.

Dont get me wrong, SLR is damn ugly lol

I used to cite off the SLS as being ugly based on photos alone, but it certainly has more presence than I gave it credit for in real life. That said, if money is no object, give me the SLR.

I agree. The SLR was an incredible product, and even without McLaren's engineers, I think MB couldve continued it just fine. always loved the SLR, and the one time i got to see it in person, i was utterly speechless (mainly cuz there was no feeling in my mouth from all the drooling!)

I think the SL Black is too much of a street legal race car (which would be be great for some, but not me). If I were spending this much on a car, I would like to be somewhat comfortable if it were a daily driver, which the SLS easily could be.

My vote went to the SLS. I always loved the look of the original 300SL Gullwing.

In fact I would take even a regular SL63 over the the SLS and SLR even if I can pay cash for them easily.
I so totally agree with you -Black series for me too
Don't care what Clarkson said about the SL black series.

I can't stand the anteater front end of the SLS.
SLR is too much like the ***** mobile (think ambiguously gay duo from SNL) and the old sl, hardly striking.

No question, I would pick the SLR. It is just awesome on the open road, yes because it has a automatic it can handle being in traffic with no problems. Also the doors, they are just cool!
