I had to take a couple of piccies to share what parked outside the night before last.......

I know they are quick, but a Batman lookalike with more rear arch clearance than an SUV for that money...... yuk IMO

Agreed, it would have looked SO much better without that nose hood thing, kinda like an ultra SL!

My Ex, just as she legally became my ex. :p (ba-ump-bump!)

Wow - that foreshortened photo really doesn't do it any favours.

Looks like its nose is falling over its face.

KBK - you crack me up!

Himmmmm, a car with a schnozzle... to go with the Bangle Butt?

As you say it's all opinion. As for me, I like the nose. Very F1 inspired. I am less impressed with the back. Looks like Bangle may have influenced those lines.

Can't really tell the size of the wheel openings from your picture. But in reviewing my pictures from the LA Auto show - I agree with you. It would look better sitting lower. (Again IMO!)
Cheers,
Alfred

That scchhnazzz, nose cone, has got to go. but hey if someone threw me the keys I would not turn it down

You could by an E39 M5, an E60 M5, an Aston Martin DB9,a Ferrari 612 Scagletti, and a new 911 GT3 plus change for a few good nights out..... and stick some cash int he bank

IMO should go into the museum as an expensive mistake............

SLR is strictly a pantydropper car...not for car enthusiasts like most of us. :P

actually i did have the chance of seeing this car in person, its a Very balanced machine, very well thought out, its disign from top to bottom as a purpose.

But in realality, until I sh*t $100 bills. this car isnt for me... If you have money to burn away in the wind... this sure is the car for you
