why, it's almost as if you owned both and compared both quite professionally. |
Well - spend 18 hours in car doing a cross country run in a car, and you will get to know it's strong and weak points pretty quickly.
Having done that in a 2003 SL500, I pretty much knew what to look for when we took an XLR for a drive.
I tried to find something to like about the XLR, but there was nothing. If it was $25,000 cheaper - it may have been different.
The real treat was watching the trunk first dump the water pooled on top into the car before the roof is retracted.
Quite some engineering feat that eh...
