About a week ago the NDA on the updated, mid-cycle refresh
2017 SL was lifted and we finally got to take the car out for a test drive.
Mercedes have made some significant changes to the car that overall add up to
make a big impact. For one, they’ve changed the front end. When the last
iteration was released in 2013, very few people liked the looks on the front of
the car. There was just something about it that was not aesthetically pleasing.
Perhaps it was the boxy lines or the square headlamps
and the pointy nose. Whatever it was, the car was not as
attractive as we might have liked. Which was a shame, because the basic car
underneath was what we wanted from a GT: powerful and luxurious.
