Default Next years safety car?

What should it be?
They have the Mercedes SLK 55 AMG as this years safety car.

I wonder what next years Mercedes safety car will be

- Mercedes CLS 55 AMG?
- Mercedes SLR Mc laren
- or perhaps an other brand

Indeed, would be better to see something different than a Merc finally

Indeed it would be a good idea to have a manufacturer not involved in the races and what better than Lamborghini?

Sadly they don't use vintage cars as safety cars.. so no Miura and no Diablo anymore I suppose

I think the best security car for F1 would be a red Enzo!!

The Merc SLK55 sounds awesome though - you can make out that Bernd Maylander is on the limit throughout while the F1 cars are cruising about in a Safety car lap....
