Is it me or does the new 2009 SL look god awful? The hood bulges don't match the grill, which interrupts the flow of the window sills... which then give away the fact that MB hasn't even bothered with the back-end. The car looks strictly as if it was designed to accommodate EU pedestrian safety standards.

And on this point, it makes the SLK look so much better. The R170 has better lines than the new SL, especially the SLK32's hood bulges.

The R171, in my opinion, will go down in the books 30-40 years from now as "they don't make them as beautiful as that anymore." Just like the Jaguar E-type.

Or am I alone on this, or all we all crazy?
