Porker:

Congratulations Christian, beautiful cars these new SL's, but indeed you hardly see them on the road. Pricing to blame indeed.

I agree with your observations regarding the interior, I do feel MB has dropped the ball there in recent years, it feels less solid/well made than the competition from BMW imo. Not ok.

 

Very much in agreement. Last time I sat in a iX, nothing I see/touch inside feels cheap. Even the plastic feels high quality.

In the SL, not so much. Like Christian said, the airbag cover is hard plastic, doesn't quite bother me as much however. What bother me the most is the plastic for the seat memory recall on the door, that one feels like Tesla quality plastic, definitely not German at all.
