The 2011 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is still an attention-grabber. If you like catching more than a few admiring glances while you drive through town, this is the car to have, top up or down. With solid performance to match and world-class driving dynamics, this is the luxury roadster defined.
Mercedes-Benz isn’t giving these cars away. Even base models command an MSRP of thousands of dollars more than their closest competitors. Unless you live in a price-is-no-object world, this may not be the car for you.
