I can't understand these front lights just cool because it's an SL after all but not as good as the original.

Overdone. They messed up what was a cool car. And those SLR side vents look horrible. Uncool. Bring on the Black Edition and we'll talk.

Also, is this the all new car? Or just the updated body style for the current shape that's been around for a few years?

Lost it's elegance. Doesn't look right on a SL.

Dude guess what car the XLR copied to start with. Cool car anyway but not subzero.

Hate the head lights.

Even on the recently unveiled SL65 black edition, they're the one glaring mark on the car.

Why spoil a fairly pretty car?

Much better looking than the previous generation.
