I previously owned a 2005 SL500. The car is indeed more powerful reflecting the increase in horsepower. I actually do not like some of the minor interior changes. For instance, I do not like the change in the hard-top controller handle-switch. The previous switch had a red light incorporated in it to indicate when the up or down function was complete. The current switch no longer has this light indicator, and now you must turn your head around to look. I cannot figure out if the current model has voice control or not, while the '05 model voice control was standard. I do like the bluetooth module allowing use of your personal phone.

Traded 2005 SL500 on 2007 SL550. As nice as the '05 was, the new '07 is more powerful, quieter' and has a much better steering feel.

Love the car, most of these have retractable tops that don't work. Do your research as I have done. the tops can be repaired for n=much less than the dealer will quote. Other than that, my car is perfect & the top will be repaired & working in about a month! I am very satisfied

This is absolutely amazing. To integrate total luxury with total performance (in an automatic) is an achievement. The handling is exceptional, particularly in sharp turns.
2008 SL 550 is the best Car Ever.

All car companies have been trying for Years to make a car like the SL. Nobody has ever come close into the Speed, Design, Shape, A Retractable Top,,, ( we all know it hard ). Even this web page don’t know this car enough and they call it a SL convertible,,, (stupidity on Edmunds part - just call it SL Class ). This SL in 2008 was the first 5.5 liter V-8, naming the car SL 550. It has 400 HP, but when you really drive this car, it seems more HP under the hood and the torque is high up too. Plus,,, this car is not a Sports Car, it’s GT car ( grand tour ),,,AMG version maybe a sports cars to be more run against Porsche or maybe a Vet competitor. SL 550 is to be Luxury and Fast,,,, training on the Audubon to drive. Sunny and over cast or rain, up the mountains to throw around on the curves or a run to the Beach at the Jersey Shore or down 95 South to Fort Lauderdale. Let’s not forget that the best looking SL 550 in Mars Red gets the best rating for looking fast, sexy, hot and no competition. ( that’s just seeing the car sitting still ) Even to Today cars,, this car keeps up with M40, Hemi, and most engines at 500 horses and still the best looking. Remember Car and Drive put a cap on their award issues and at the time of the SL Years since 1982, there was nothing better than an SL. The car been around longer than any other car label. Today the SL is the top of line car for Mercedes. The SL is a history making vehicle, major competition that no other car company could make a car like this. This was the car that rich or poor, people dreamed about. Even if you did not know about cars,,, this was the luxurious car out there.
