Vehicle Description
When it came time to refresh the SL for 2009, Mercedes set out to
make the car more aggressive and striking. The new face's
swept-back headlights and wide-mouth grille successfully convey a
more sporting intent. Judging by the impressed looks on the faces
of jaded bystanders along the boulevards of your hometown, Mercedes
should be able to declare its mission accomplished. This AMG model
gained an array of new or improved standard features, as well as
significant upgrades to the steering and the Active Body Control
system. A sporty new three-spoke steering wheel is the most
dramatic change made to the SL's interior. The only other changes
of note are the mildly revised instrument cluster, a more logical
COMAND infotainment system, and the newly available three-speed
Airscarf system that blows warm air onto your neck. The car's
ability to be both a smooth-riding boulevard cruiser and
back-road-storming sports car is truly impressive. Plus, no other
convertible in this premium price range offers the versatility of
the quick-stowing hardtop (with this car featuring the upgraded
glass panoramic sunroof). To sum it up - this Benz sports a nifty
retractable hardtop, thrilling performance, solid handling,
compliant adjustable ride, convertible-friendly seats, and spacious
interior. Highlights include: -382 horsepower -7-speed automatic
transmission -Panorama Sunroof -Rollover Protection System -Heated
