The Ferris Beuller reference just made my day even better. Great review of course as well.

[@siegfriedbarfuss9379]

Best looking SL ever. Classy and elegant..

[@markwilliams6378]

love your reviews concise and your voice was made for this

[@pepirebs7162]

LOVE MY 2014

[@PunxsutawneyDave]

"Pure automotive Voodoo" I cannot wait to steal that. Great review Steve.

[@oliverlathe]

They are going to go up in value, the hard top in the 2021 is gone..very sad😞 . I love the 2013 SL 550, it’s insane on the road. Do a tune jumps up to 545hp/715trq...it’s literally insane...you actually get better gas mileage 😀, love that that car❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Jferrari427]

Great review Steve.

[@firefox39693]

his Vocab never sises to amaze me!

[@Darkender1988]

"Melange" I love that word!

[@BrandyKluxKlan]

Now Steve i know i asked you to drive this car about 7 months ago :) having owned a r230 these cars are amazing, i would say though if you can afford it you must get the AMG version. Sure on paper they are quite similiar but man those AMG engines and sound are just great.

[@stevehammes]

Knew you'd like this one...and no damage. These cars are made to be driven hard.

[@manyakols9]

i dunno but i kinda like the eyes of the current SL

[@MaliciousSRT]

Driven one a couple years ago, felt the same as an S-class, just in roadster form with a removable top option. (floating on marshmellows in a lazyboy with a video game steering wheel)

[@SaMaster18]

Love the car, great review. My dad got one of the first ones in matte grey. His didn't come with ABC though...

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

Looks pretty nice overall, but I like the front end of the old one better.

[@stevehammes]

Good memory! I remember pulling that line out before but couldn't remember the car. I guess there's something about a Benz that has me thinking Bueller ;-)

[@wendellcarter2542]

outstanding review. Love the car......

[@luxurykid666]

Not saying it's a bad thing, just throwing it out there that at 3:45 he used that same quote on his C63 review about 5-6 years ago

[@stevehammes]

It's OK to dream once in a while!

[@pedrof830]

Gotta go play the lotto!!

[@BrandyKluxKlan]

Steve i believe active body control is standard

[@SanDiegoInnOut]

Great review, perfect car.

[@clock959]

i'm not a fan of the styling,,,or convertibles in general...would rather go for a 650i if it were my money... but i must admit: this car is all about tradition. the SL goes way back...way way back...always a true icon.

[@MultiRyan2112]

I've never seen that shifter in an SL before? Strange!

[@rig48]

Great review!! Can u get your hands on a SL65AMG!!!

[@stevehammes]

Love the E Wagon but that would probably be the LEAST recognizable Benz on our shores.

[@JustRicky]

Only Steve would do donuts in a $100,000+ car. I wonder if Steve gets dirty looks bringing back a 6 figure car to the dealer that's now cling & knocks. Hey Steve, try jumping a Lambo over a lake next. Great reviews!

[@StAlphonzo2k]

"Mercedes in it's most recognizable form"... in USA, perhaps. In Europe, it would probably be the diesel-powered E-class wagon. :-D

[@stevehammes]

She never drove it once...no kidding. I can't explain why other than we had miserbale weather all week.

[@hejmuesli]

Nice one

[@Amandahugankiss8888]

I love everything about that car....except the front. It just wont grown on me. The front wears better on the SLK.

[@waverunner7063]

I appreciate the fact Steve explained ABC. I am baffled by the fact most reviewers don't mention it. Also, how any buyer could buy this and not get ABC. It truly is a sophisticated system. It was standard on the previous SL. Mercedes should make it standard again.

[@football2008]

I want one sooooooo bad lol!

[@bkvintagecorp]

that thing is pricey as hell

[@stevehammes]

No way. The new aluminum body makes it the real deal.

[@SaMaster18]

it's not a sports car... it's a GT roadster. Totally different type of car.

[@A7medMido28]

da bamboo trim never matches da brownish seats !!!

[@ChiliPalmar]

looks like they ripped the front off of a Volvo and slapped it on.

[@CodeXana]

The trunk idea is copied from the Volvo C70.

[@krisrocks121]

U can get a lot more car for 130000!

[@fantomtuba]

Most recognisable? Looks like a Volvo.

[@krisrocks121]

U ca

[@motibortina1216]

Add is broke all time avoid it

[@SabbathDay]

nonsense. You must be referring to the earlier SL models?

[@bmwmsport11]

The SL keeps getting uglier and uglier. 2002 was my favorite gen of the SL.

[@thecynicalafro160]

i was about to make this exact comment

[@stevehammes]

Negative.
