I tend to bash MB but I have to give them major kudos for pumping out some delectable designs. Case in point - the new 2009 SL63 (65) AMG:

from the front it looks like the cadillac XLR...not a big fan of the aero kit, it's doesn't blend in with the stock shape of the car, lines seems straight, not contoured to the car, and I would expect some better wheels....IMHO.

The Cadillac has more angular headlights, but I can sort of see the resemblance. I agree about the wheels, would opt for the stock 20" alloys that come with the CL65 AMG:

MB has a real winner with all x63 cars. The 6.2 liter powerplant is one of best ever in my opinion.

I am still a big fan of the CLK63 AMG Black Series.

You can listen to the new C63 exhaust here (Fu*kin Amazing!). Just click spacebar or enter, then press play. I can't believe that is stock exhaust.

This is OK to me , in fact I like the previous version much better, the new MB that I think is stunning is the 2009 CLK, I passed one last nite and I could'nt take my eyes off it,the previous version was such a disappointment becuase I really liked the prior version to it , so this was a very pleasant surprise.. Well Done MB !!
