About Mercedes-Benz SL550
The last time we tested an SL550 was in an August 2006 comparison, when it came in first place ahead of a Cadillac XLR-V, a BMW 650i, a Jaguar XK, and a Porsche 911. Since then, the SL has received cosmetic updates such as a new grille, headlamps, hood, and rear bumper, as well as a mildly restyled interior with a refined media interface. Although the sheetmetal is more aggressive, the car retains the subdued elegance that a Benz should have—much like the previous-generation E-class before Mercedes designers went all Bangle.
