    I'd drive a Pink Series if it had a frickin' manual transmission.

    I'm not a 100% on this yet, but I think a green SLS AMG left this world this morning on I-75 near Joslyn road. Its hard to tell from the helicopter shot.

    I'll do my best to rewind the DVR and get a screen capture.

    It's clear that the Black Series will be more athletic, but will it also be longer, or is that a myth?

    So how exactly is the convertible going to work with the doors? Are they just going to discard one of the few truly iconic things about the car so they can have a droptop?

    @everybody: Yeah, it worked on the 300SL, but this car is far less striking and revolutionary, in my opinion. Take away the doors and you just have a poofy SL.

    If they have the balls to build and sell a $250k car, then charge $10k for paint, why, then can you not get black seats with a colored interior?

    @pauljones: I suspect that if you spoke nicely with the kind sales individual and started stacking the cash on the desk, they might be able to find a way to help you.

    At worst, you can order a second set of seats with the trim you lack, take it to an auto upholsterer, and they would run you up some custom seats. If you can afford the car, you can probably afford to have your own customizing done if you really want. And I bet you might have a spare car to drive while you're waiting for the work to be done.

    Mercedes is still a rookie in a game that Porsche has already mastered--this is nothing next to the $100,000 base-model Boxster you can build on Porsche's configurator (coordinating color vent trim rings?! Sign me up!).

    Looking closely at the rendering on the front cover, though, I have a question. Is that a PORTHOLE in the roof? I'd never noticed that particular styling detail before. Let's hope it's just part of the "2003 Thunderbird Dress-Up Package."

    @FormerlyPreferredCustomer:

    I know, I was bored once and got one up to over $110k. That's just obnoxious. You have to wonder what the take rate is on these options, as at some point, if there aren't enough takers, how does it make sense to continue to spend money offering them?
