Deutsch, I like the curvy basic design of the Gullwing and the Roadster, but I don't favour them being incorporated into future SLs. I think these curvy shapes can make the cars look very dated in a hurry. I would like the future SLs to look more like the W107 and R107.

What do you think of the new Jaguar XK? It does look a bit like the old E-Type or XKE. Is this the direction you want the SL to go? Personally, I think the new Jag XK does resemble the XKE and has a similar old-style body shape, but I also feel the new car's exterior has been overdesigned.
