I just picked one up and my primary complaint is the ride quality….it’s too harsh. It’s like 911GT3 tight and that’s in comfort mode. There should be a way to dial down the settings, especially in comfort mode, but even in the lightest setting the suspension setup is just too tight. It throws me around like a rag doll. Other than that, the car is aces! Especially the drivetrain……it’s amazing.

If I were in the market for a grand tourer and had that kind of cash, I'd love this thing. We make great money, but I can't justify paying nearly twice as much as an E53 for less practicality and sunburns. In fact, I hate the panoramic roof on my C300 and wish I could have a carbon fiber roof with the black headliner instead. As it is, I had it tinted with 5% ceramic tint and it really cooled down the interior.

There's just nothing to a touchscreen that talks class or luxury, which is what I would want when paying anything above $100k.

I choose the Audi as it has the best engine - Naturally aspirated V10, is mid engined and feels more sporty and not as stiff as say a Huracan Spyder. For $210-$230k range, Audi is winner. Also, this is the last month to order the Audi - they will be gone. SL is for old sugar daddies LOL :)

An excellent review of what is clearly an outstanding technical achievement of an automobile. However, with this latest model Mercedes has abandoned the traditional role of the SL, which is that of a hardtop convertible two-seater with enough space and power for two to travel comfortably on long voyages. The previous SL, the homely and somewhat unloved R231, was perhaps the best iteration of the concept, being lighter than its' predecessor the R230. While heavy, the folding hardtop was a wonderful convenience and the cars were rock solid with them up (or down, actually). By releasing this car as an AMG-only vehicle, the ideas of sophisticated comfort and manageable power have been forgotten. Not every rich sixty five year old executive with a trophy wife wants to be overwhelmed with power and technical complexity and stuffed into a racing seat.
