I think the Mercedes is beautiful and their options and color palette selection are better as well. However the optioned cost is 2x, so for me that’s a no. If you’ve got the money however it’s a gem of a car.

That's definitely an opinion I never thought I'd hear. It's not often, if ever, I hear someone not like the way the new Corvettes look. Personally, it's my favorite design yet and that includes 60's and 70's models. Z06 takes it a step further with the boomerang design and it is a head turner no matter where/when you see one. Huge fan here.

Had a lot of fun debates on the Corvette form on DOHC vs OHV. Finally won the debate with Chevy actually building them but its too late to get in the game. Next month am buying out my Z4 as a keeper.

IMO it’s one of those cars that photographs beautiful but disappoints in person.

I think the new corvettes look like a junior high kid with a love for the transformers designed them but hey it’s all in the eye of the beholder. That’s why God makes redheads blondes brunettes and dark haired beauties - we all like different things.

I admire the new SL's looks a lot. The price is a too high for me, though. You could get an M8 Competition for much less but it's a huge car.

It certainly is a very long car and has a formidable presence on the road. At the same time, no way I could pay supercar money on a car like that Mercedes. A Black Series? Sure...

I like the green, and the wheels, and how it looks in profile. But agree that the front looks vaguely GT-Rish. And the head & tail lights are a bit too ostentatious.
But there's no way I could ever see spending $200k on it when it's not really improving any of the functional aspects of the vehicle upon which it's based and which costs nearly 66% less. At that price it's a limited production thing intended for people for whom the cost is irrelevant. |

The Z4 is truly the Barbie & Ken car, the SL will never be -I’m afraid-, because of the back seats…
