A gallery of images of the 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL have leaked. Most notably, there is a new fascia that does not do a lot in making the ugliness started with the R230 facelift in 2008, and continued with the R231 in 2012, much more palatable. Looking forward to the real new SL some three years from now...

I don’t mind it. I think it would look good next to my R129.

That looks pretty bad IMO.

The 2007 is ugly. The 2008 is better. The 2012 is in no way ugly. This one isn't bad, but it would be better if they turned the grille upside down so it looks like it's grinning instead of reacting to a mouthful of salt.

I don’t think it’s bad looking, but I can’t picture anyone besides an old white man driving one of these.

The side of the grille getting larger at the bottom than the top is the biggest problem. Other than that, it’s fine.

I don’t like the big ducts below the headlights and the MASSIVE MB logo in the grill but other than that its not horrible. its not lexus ugly.

Going to have to disagree. They have finally made a SL that looks at good at the early 2000s SL

I don’t necessarily hate it. But I take some issue with you calling the R230 ugly. That's probably my favorite Mercedes design in the last 50 years.

I’ve been in denial for the first two, but even I will admit, that’s hideous. I’d still dd an SL65 though.

To be clear, I did mention it started with the R230 facelift in 2008. In my opinion, the 2001 R230 was indeed a very good design. the 2008 facelift made it rather ugly, and the SL has not really recovered from it thus far.

Oh, okay, I misunderstood. I read it as you saying the R230 was ugly. I think we're both on the same page here.

I think it's alright, but I thought the S-coupe was supposed to replace the SL? Or is the SL just the convertible version of the S-coupe?

What Mercedes need to get through their thick skulls is that this entire new generation of their cars that are based on the 2009 F800 concept model’s design are fundamentally ugly and no matter how many facelifts and how much make up they put on them, they’re still gonna be ugly and bland and tasteless as they are .
They need to completely redesign their cars from the scratch and completely abandon this new approach in styling that they’ve taken since 2009 .
