599

 

I love that long sloping hood on te sls ! That is cool te dealer is flying you out to go drive one. I winder what the markup is!

 

Definitely 599. It's so beautiful

 

^^ sorry for sucking when it comes to typing on my iPhone...
Anyways, I am going to flip this whole thread. No 599 no SLS, get a spyker. You said you want something to use on weekends and special occasions. The spyker will get more looks than the SLS or 599, and it is arguably better looking. The crazy quilted leather, brushed metal; the car is hot. It is fast, but not like the other two, but who cares? You said you have an RS coming and you have a cup car, so being half a second slower to 60 mean nothing. Plus there is som charming craftsmanship-like quality this car exudes that the others cannot touch.

 

SLS definately...

 

I was gonna say SLS before you posted that pic. I change my mind

 

The Spyker isn't available in Australia and needless to say, although I like them, I would never buy one.

 

It's interesting that during the recent Evo Test of the SLS, Porsche Turbo S, 599 HGTE, Audi R8 V10 and the Aston Martin. The writers had the following to say:

"It has to give best to the SLS, though, which nails the dynamic and delivers long-distance ride comfort and refinement, too. Add in deep-chested, characterful performance and traffic-stopping looks, and not even a tardy twin clutch transmission can stop it.

"Top of the pile by dint of being the most accomplished all-rounder here. Arguably, it's got the best chassis of all - so incredibly composed and well tied down."

"Theres no doubt about it. The SLS feels made for this last road of the day, as if it was developed to master every corner, crest and camber. It flows along, connected but filtering out anything distracting, and settles into corners quickly. The sense of poise is terrific, it's as if the car slows down the action so you can relish it and weigh up your options. Pour on the power and you almost feel the read treadblocks moving on the road surface, squeeze more and the SLS is steering oh-so subtly on the throttle. And all the while you're accompanied by the authentic sound of a classic, hi-po big-block V8, right down the overrun crackle. No question, the SLS delivers a drive to remember."

 

Some more pics.

 

Still saying 599! Get a used SLS in a couple of years instead, with the Merc depreciation you could probably keep your 599 for 2-3 years and than trade straight up against a used SLS.
