2005 Facelift coming for Mercedes-Benz SL500?
We examine
Our European spies are telling us to look for a face lifted SL500 for the 2005 model year.
Our sources say the facelift will give the SL a strong front and rear resemblance to the SLR supercar.
We say, it's smart move from their marketing team.
The ploy is simple...design exotic limited editions like the SLR and Maybach for ridiculous prices, get the whole world drooling over them and make your affordable (relative) products spitting images of the real thing.
The customer runs out and drops $75-100K and in their mind, believes they're getting virtually the same product, for 100's of thousands less.
