That's a pretty long laundry list of defects for a car that's been on the market a mere 60-90 days.
For me, it's the total Lexus experience. Great car, great reliability, great service. Unfortunately, it appears that the MB folks aren't hitting any of my big three criteria.

I cannot justify paying 90k+ for an SL that really offers nothing more than the SC 430 does for 70k.
It is amazing how fluid the SC 430 is while the SL though beautiful too, is boxier in the rear.
Now the AMG SL, yeah 125k may be worth it.
I'm still tripping that Car & Driver picked a SOFTOP CLK over a HARTOP SC, it 's the whole principle of the thing.
