Drive well? Styling is pretty sweet inside and out

I had one for a full week in February. While the styling isn't exactly spectacular in my eyes, the engine (and exhaust note) changes the game. Nothing like a tuned 563 horsepower 6.2-liter V8 (MB calls it a 6.3-liter, but it is really 6208 cc). Step on the gas and it hunkers down and scooooots! It handles well too. Yes, it is a lot of fun to drive.
Of course, it gets TONS of looks and compliments. My son really enjoyed when we would pull into a strip mall/shopping center and open the gullwing doors in unison.  Of all the cars I have had over the years, the SLS captured the most attention — I spent more than an hour in a grocery store parking lot allowing people to sit in it and take pictures one afternoon.
I have a story about it coming up in Autoblog in a week or so.
(I took the pic in front of my house.)
