Folks it's a HTC, that stows very neatly in trunk, I can't for life of me question these bad reviews about the lack of trunk space. Didn't you address that issue before you bought the car? I bought this SL450 for so many reasons, ride, handling, performance, value, power, great endless style... this SL line has staying power. Also the fit and finish are outstanding. I just put a order in a few months ago, I am already at the 3100 status, I will get my 2022 corvette before the end of February.... if one of these ever needs to park in driveway for whatever reason, it will be the corvette

THE CAR RIDES VERY STIFF EVEN WITH ABC, IT FEELS LIKE ITS NOT ENGAGED, THE RIDE IN THE 2012 IS SUPERIOR THEY SHOULD HAVE KEPT THAT SUSPENSION I PURCHASED A 2012 MUCH BETTER RIDE

I've owned a number of high-end vehicles from Aston Martin, Jaguar, Porsche, Lexus, Audi, etc. This SL500 ranks up there with the best in terms of styling, performance, luxury features, and prestige. I really like the fast hardtop convertible operation, the massaging seats, Apple Car Play, and the quality of the interior materials. It's really fun to drive and it looks great too!
