Blog Melampah - 2011 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Specification ,You know the 2011 Mercedes-Benz SL550? a luxury car that was remarkable, certainly proud for those of you who have a car.Although $114,175 is stiff, the SL earns its price. The last time we tested an SL550 was in a comparison in August 2006, when it finished first ahead of a Cadillac XLR-V, a BMW 650i, a Jaguar XK, and a Porsche 911.
Mercedes didn’t change any of the mechanical components on the SL, which is a good thing, because we rather like those.
