The SL63’s claimed 0-to-62-mph time of 4.7 seconds seems conservative, but there’s no doubt it goes around corners like no other SL in memory.

Don’t drive a Mercedes SL600 unless $136,100 is burning a hole in your pocket because you might fall in love with it. Fast and comfortable, there’s lots to love here.

The SL class convertibles are fresh looking, solidly built, impeccably finished, and a pleasure to drive.

The SL550 earns its price tag. Top down on a sunny day, it feels like a rich man’s Miata: top up, carving through stop-and-go traffic, it’s as luxurious as an S-class. Add in superior build quality and a hewn-from-a-block solidity, and it remains the gold standard in this class.

Some are better performance machines, some are better luxury barges, but few marry the two as well as the Mercedes SL550.

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL550 is a big, expensive roadster with some nice aesthetic touches. It has practical features, but this car is more about the statement it makes.
