I drove the new SL in LA. Anyone know why the front and rear windows do NOT go all the way down?

Does anyone know of a web site with pictures of the updated body for 2003 CL and/or CL 55?
#130 of 766 2003 CL info for SL Guys by jstyle Apr 02, 2002 (6:46 am)
Hey, I thought I'd drop a line about an interesting new item. AutoExpress.com is reporting MB will introduce a limited edition CL55 AMG CONVERTIBLE! Yes, it will have a canvas top like the current CLK and be built this fall. Around 55K more than the current CL55. If you SL guys want a very exclusive car this is the one.   kdude the same article states the 2003 CL will only have bumper changes and the S will have an all new interior. Both look like available supercharged engines are coming as well.
#131 of 766 1997 SL-500 - Am considering buyin a used one any ideas or thoughts? by deweykahuna Apr 02, 2002 (6:52 pm)
The car has 70k on it and an independent dealer offered it to me for 27K. Any particular problems with maintence or stuff like that?
#132 of 766 Just saw the SL and Lexus SC at the NY Auto Show! by laysmackdown Apr 03, 2002 (3:21 pm)
Man, are these cars beautiful! Had the SL55 on a pedestal, but had a video about it instead of a person. The Lexus SC had a dude talk about the what's and why's, and shows the car features in action. I didn't know the rear headrests in the SC were built as pillars for a rollbar effect! The Lexus dude made sure you understood that you will save $ on insurance with the extra seats. Mercedes DID have an SL for you to SIT in. The CD Changer BEHIND the driver seat was pretty stupid! The driver can't possibly reach the cartridge unless he's outside of the car! THe seats were big and supportive, and I think the pop up bar is very stylish, but the interior certainly lacks a luxurious feel. THe guages try to shine like a Lexus electroluminescent display, but look don't. The dash and doors are covered in hard, coarse plastic. THe center console is rather basic. I wished the inside distinguished itself like the outside. There is no contest which one is the luxury car. And which one is more expensive! Lexus: $64k, Benz: $95k. The Lexus ES300 was MUCH more upscale than the Benz interior! I'm sure it's an awesome handler, but for that money, I don't want ANY signs of cost-cutting. Advantage: Lexus.
#133 of 766 Euro Delivery by shoes Apr 12, 2002 (8:08 am)
I just completed the first european delivery of the new SL500. The folks at the Mercedes factory ere pretty nervous and did not even know where the cupholders were and had to give me a free auxilliary one. Just as well, after I found the real ones, I learned they weren't very good.   The car took some getting used to, particularly the brakes which have very little traditional feel. It wasn't until I put 500 miles on this car that I can say that I began to fall in love with it. And really, it wasn't until I as on the autobahn that I really began to appreciate it. At 100 MPH it was outstanding. I took it up to 135 MPH even though I wasn't supposed to during the break in, but when else will I get a chance to drive it like this legally.   I LOVE THIS CAR.
