    SL500 or G55

    Two totally different cars built for different drives. I'm caught between the two but do not know which to purchase... Any ideas?

    I'd buy a SL500. The SL is one of the best looking Roadsters out there.
    The G55 needs to go offroad to really show its potential. It's focused on offroad use.
    The SL500 is designed for urban/highway use. Shure the full potential of the SL500
    will only be reached on a track but you can enjoy the car in everyday-use.
    Also the milage of the G55 is horrible and that's even without pushing the throttle...

    G55, my uncle has a G500, and its awesome! and with the new American interior and everything, i'd take it over SL, it might not be as fast because of weight, but i like it more!

    Get a G55 if you other hobbies include setting fire to vast ammounts of money.

    I'd only get a G-wagen if I were planning to go off road, and then it'd be one of the diesels.

    There are much better SUVs out there.
    Thanks for all the fish

    G5oo's are awesome! In so many ways, very versitile, but the gas mileage will kill you. Probably with the sports car as well though.

    The SL500 is a very good sportscar with great handling and lots of power. But on the other hand the G55 is a very worthy offroad and on road SUV. Both do not get very good mileage. But for summer driving and lots of fun you should get the SL500, and for round year driving and winter performance you should take the G55.

    in my opinion, if you cannot afford the sl55 then save up a little more for it, it is well worth it, i've been in one and almost driven it, but im 2 years underage, so yeah, and also ive been in a cl65, phenominal, i would say either hold out for an sl55, or get the g55, slthough in my opinion they are absolutely hideous

    are you dead set on a mercedes? you could get a Porsche Cayenne S and have it tuned by gemballa to about 650hp, looks way better, is a completely unique car, and will whoop the g55
