Can someone please do some side by side shots. And was the interior even touched? If so, I see no difference.

Just in case you come back HighestOfHigh here is the preface lifted SL.
The second is the facelifted one. Other than the paddle shifters I also don`t
see any changes to the interior.

The grill tells me enough that this is indeed a new SL.

The spoiler has been modified to. Reminds me of the CLK a little.

Yeh, they for sure could have done more. O well, I'm not disapointed.

It`s a quiet change that suits the subtle styling of the SLs body. I think the next generation SL will be more flamboyant!

A nice little review of the revised SL:

The SL also rides more smoothly than before, and the chassis somehow feels more stable. Mercedes says no physical changes have been made to the set-up, but software alterations to the air-sprung system have delivered small improvements.

On an open road, the car is a real joy to drive, while all the modifications have given the SL's character and quality a boost. If you can stomach the huge £75,880 price, it makes the rise of just under £2,000 from the previous model look decent value.

IT'S what's inside that counts for the new SL - particularly when you consider it was already one of the best-looking Mercs anyway. The 5.5-litre engine offers better performance, and changes to the mechanics and chassis ensure the dyn-amics are noticeably im- proved as well. In this class at least, it remains a tough car to beat.

I'm convinced that the SL and S-Class are really Mercedes best and most well rounded cars. Well along with the MIA CL.
