I don't care what it can do, I think it's ugly.

Ugly it is. And it's not a 911.

Garish, weighs nearly 4,000lbs, and it's an automatic. Not the car for me.

Not only is the design ugly, it appears to have the ugliest combination of materials ever put together to build a car.

Chris, did someone scuff the dash already on the left side of the steering wheel?

No, it's a service tag of some sort.

I know Mercedes has had some QA problems but has it gotten so bad that they need to use bits of tape to hold the bumper on?

Default thanks

Great real life pics of a very unique car.... thanks for posting. I could care less if it were a P car or not, interesting rare car and nice clear pics. Thanks.... I can almost guarantee anyone this car in person would make anyone take a step back..... taking a double or triple take in person; no doubt.

I really liked the crystal silver with red arrow leather combo on the original though...

For the same dough I'd much rather have a low hours Beech A36 and a lightly used CLK63 Black Series.... and a hot Russian hooker.

The original is a ton of fun. Haven't been lucky enough to drive the 722 but the "regular" SLR is a beast. It's a lot harder to drive than a 911 but is still an event. Turns heads when you take one to Wal-Mart too, haha

I like it... How much is it?

The SLR is pretty cool for all its flaws. I do wish McLaren could've built it without MB's intrusion though...
