The black series would be nice. I'm looking at an 09 SL63 AMG on the weekend.

All the Audis, Porsches, Beemers and Mercs just seem to be trying a bit too hard. Every surface has a crease, chrome accent or Christmas lights nailed on without much care thought through to the look.
Only Opel/GM seem to make well designed cars at the moment.  ???

In the vein or oops and creased sheetmetal: this was one of our cars until about 2 months ago (pic is from yesterday)... there's really only one way to learn not to lift a Porsche's throttle mid-turn!
