Because the page will take ages to load for people with slower connections if there are so many pics. It also makes it harder to discuss when you have too many pics in between posts.

Wow, I really, really like the new one a lot more now. That rear diffuser on the 63/65 is insane! I actually like the front bumper on the 63 the most. Put that bumper on the 65 with those wheels and you're good to go!

It's amazing how it makes the "old" SL look so dated in comparison. Thx for putting this together HKS.

Rear diffuser and the hood on the new one looks amazing! however, I'm still not feeling the front headlight though...... it might grow on me later prolly....

its all a debate between which front end looks better. The diffuser on the new one is hot. If i must choose it would be the older model or the new one with minor changes to the grill. the New SL gives us the CLS look but the old one really has me.

I like the previous version better. The new one looks aggressive, but the looks are writing a check the suspension/handling can't cash, I'm betting. The power should be used to make it a relaxed luxury cruiser.
