If you cant figure out what is is: its the SLS.
Doors looked completely un-practical but it sounded nice. I thought they weren't supposed to come out until mid-2011. Also, pretty stereotypical old white man driving it.

Theyve been running around SoCal for a while now

CollinsE90 · 01-06-2011, 07:08 PM

SLS has been out awhile

MarkR171 · 01-06-2011, 07:10 PM

I see a lady driving a white one every day on my way to work...

I guess Wikipedia is wrong for the first time

Yeah. When I was car shopping last fall, I looked at C350s. Smail MB in Greensburg, PA, had a white SLS at that point. During my test drive, all the salesman could talk about was the SLS and how great it was. I was like dude... I'm obviously lookin at something a little different ha.

He did make a point to have me warm the brakes up and do some hard stops to test the "anti-dive". It was really nice. I have not tried similar stops in my 3 as of yet. But, I would be willing to drive someone else's that way!

I actually fell in love with the SL Class way back when. I'd prefer the SL65 though; I don't love the SLS, but, it's so unique. When I'm old, I'll drive one. Or, if I win the Powerball, I'll drunk wreck a bunch of them for fun to piss people off. haha

Guy off bodybuilding forums, their OT is one of the funniest places online. Its so damn hard to keep up though, you make a thread and its on the second page in 2 minutes. That many threads and people in their OT(Misc).

I figure its more for the big Mercedes enthusiasts. It seems a lot like the LFA where its just a car they made so they can say "hey look what we can do"

bmwmike335 · 01-07-2011, 02:49 AM

It was originally the body of the next generation viper, but Mercedes totally raped Chrysler and took the plans with them when daimler sold off Chrysler

pittsy · 01-07-2011, 03:21 AM

I've seen the SLS on the road from at least June.

bolinp78 · 01-07-2011, 08:03 AM

I've seen four or five different ones.

I fucking hate the Misc over there.

I stick to the Nutrition forums primarily.

I have had to google that kid Zyzz tho to see the story behind the attention he gets.
