2012 Mercedes Benz SL

Mercedes jumped the gun on itself and posted pics and some specs for the new SL, which will debut next month at the Detroit Auto Show. The new version will have 45 more hp and weigh 275 pounds less than the outgoing version--the new twin-turbo, direct-injected 4.6-liter V8 puts out 429 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. Now that's progress. Definitely one classy ride.

Hey, when the current sl was updated recently, no one liked the new front end either.

Funny, I like the front end. The rear end reminds me of a BMW, so not good.

i can see where they were going with the look, but they shouldn't have gone there. the 11s look WAY more agressive. it might look good in person tho.

also, they really shouldn't have 6series-ed up the back end. fuark i hate that shit from BMW

I will reserve my judgement until I see the SL63/65. The weight reduction is pretty sick tho.

Wow the interior is way nice.

I won't say the front end is ugly, but definitely not a classy design.

How are they always capable of capturing such beautiful photos? Their photos definitely help the beauty of the car stand out
