Stuttgart/Affalterbach – The new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, which is about to celebrate its world premiere on 15 September 2009 at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt/Main, embodies a blend of consummate automotive fascination and high tech. The super sports car delivers a compelling mix of purist styling, consistent lightweight design and superior driving dynamics. At the same time, the SLS fully lives up to all the expectations of hallmark Mercedes everyday practicality and optimum safety. In essence, the new 'Gullwing' offers the ideal synthesis of the strengths of Mercedes-Benz and AMG.

Not feeling those doors at all.

 

There are a whole bunch of things to like about this car, but there's also a whole bunch of things I don't like about this car.

 

i didn't like it at first but it's starting to very slowly grow on me ..like a mold on the cheese

 

I'm really digging it. I love the doors, and the concept behind it. The only thing I'm really starting to hate is the disappearance of the manual transmission option on all of these supercars. I realize that MB has been letting them go for a while now, but this should have one.

 

one of the few mercs i like the shape of. miles better than the rest of the range

 

I really like original 300SL Gullwing and I consider it the most beautiful car ever built, but this is just ugly.

 

I dig it!

 

Still looks awkward to me. Can't wait to hear stories about new owners smacking their heads on the bottom of those doors.

 

+1

i like how its looks seperate it from the rest of the benz line up. including the SLR.

 

looks hot overall although it does look like a nissan gtr had some sexy time with a mercedes mclaren...

 

At a minimum, it still looks loads better than the SLR.

 

Looks good, but I don't like the headlights...

 

wow,,I like this car,,very cool looking,

 

the headlights

 

Thats the best looking benz front clip I have ever seen.

 

I dunno man I think the SLR is one fine looking car..but that's me

I really liked the SLS conmcept drawing but i think it lost something in the translation..it's not very agressive looking like the drawing was and I was hoping it would be. Oh well still a cool car.

 

Forward of the front wheels the SLR is hideous, behind the front wheels it's not too bad though.

 

I dont like the rear, the rear glass and decklid have too much of an angle

love the rest though
