Topless alway looks better, but sedan is more practical. Also, the depreciation on the SL will "sting" when you trying to sell it later.

I don't know about the depreciation. If he is looking at a used SL vs. a used 545, I would guess that, on a % basis, the SL would hold its value better over time than a used 545. Particularly considering how long the SLs go between design changes vs. the E60 vs. LCI vs. F10 in two years. If you are only worried about depreciation, I would take the SL over the 5.

Not sure if this is significant enough as design change, but it's coming as 2009 model for the SL63 AMG. And I kind of like it
