There’s not much new news about the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class vehicles. That may be because the current model is almost eight years old or perhaps because it’s slowly and quietly being phased out.
The SL-Class received a facelift back in 2008 but has fallen off the radar for many since then and fuel economy could be a reason. To combat this Mercedes is discontinuing its twelve-cylinder versions of the SL. The SL600 was the first to go and now the SL65 AMG is getting the chop as well. But it remains unclear if the fixed-roof SL65 AMG Black Series will continue on.
This has created speculation that Mercedes-Benz will eventually end all V12 engine production shortly and put it’s largest powerplants out to pasture. It may also be an early signal of the arrival of a new generation SL-Class. The new model could arrive as early as next year in 2013 model year form.
Like most of the muscle cars today, the Dodge Challenger went with a more retro-style look like the Ford Mustang and the Chevy Camaro did. It’s big, heavy and overall not very streamline like I normally like in cars. However we are talking about a muscle car,so things like that don’t really matter as much with these. However, from the bold nose to the wonderful bodylines it really looks great. Then you add the graphics, a rear spoiler, and larger wheels and tires it looks even better.
