GTP Cool Wall: Mercedes-Benz SL73 AMG

[Rue]

The R129 SL is the ultimate ex-pat's car in Asia, bar none, which instantly makes it the uncoolest car on the planet. I'd take one in an instant. Silver, AMG wheels and a hardtop for me please. In the case of the stonking SL73 you'd end up having to tell people why it is special which you'd make even more tragic.

Seriously Uncool

I don't know much about the car but it looks like something a trophy wife would drive. I gave it a meh.

 

[Jim Prower]

I guess that's fair enough...'cept said trophy wife, if startled and mashes the gas, might put it in the ditch.

((oddly enough, in Chicago this past week, I saw two brand new SLs, Both woman driven, both yak-yak-yakking on their trendy smartphones, and one was an SL63.))

Man, a SL with a Zonda engine.

SubZero

Man, a SL with a Zonda engine.

SubZero

The SL is a Mercedes with a Mercedes engine... the Zonda is a Pagani with a Mercedes engine.

 

[Cano]

The SL is a Mercedes with a Mercedes engine... the Zonda is a Pagani with a Mercedes engine.

Exactly.

In any which way, if this was something else than a Mercedes, I'd find it cool with a big underpowered V12 and all that.

But it's a Mercedes.

Meh
