Bring back a top European Designer to facelift them and they'll be away...
Seen the rear of the new E-Class, it's just not Mercedes.

Get thee behind me Satan!!
We're thinking that with advancing age and increasing difficulty getting in and out of the sports seats of the 968 cab, the likely replacement will be an SLK/C - so between the much increased value of the 968 (doubled in 5 years!, PCGB valuation is almost 3 times what I paid for it!) and a big discount.........

^This.
The 400 facelift is 367hp with 9g gearbox. Sub 5 secs 0-60 it covers most peoples requirements for a comfy cruisy top down car and starts to look very good value for money against the 500 and AMG models (the AMG's don't get the new 9g).
We went with every intention of buying a 500 but found the 400 perfect.
Buyers that may previously have bought an SL63 have probably gravitated towards AMG GTs instead? (EDIT- A quick look on How many left show approx 4 times the number of AMG Gts registered vs SL63 AMG in the last 12 months).
All that said, it's never been a volume car.

List price is a joke then.
After you posted up pics. Of your blue SL400 I have fallen in love with this model, looking round at the moment for a SL400 demonstrator , no white or black.

Sadly there really wasn't much colour choice with these. Hence I ended up paying for Mystic Blue.
If you can find a Caravan Site Blue one they look good, but quite dark.
Palladium/Red looks nice:-

I happened to visit an MB dealer on Saturday who had two new models
400 and 63 AMG models
Both looked exactly the same as the old models. even the sales guy admitted he couldn't see the difference
The 400 was £78000 before maga discounts
But even then it looked as dull as anything
Think the days of the SL are over
Dull dull dull

Clearly a crap salesman. It looks much smarter than before! It also drives better and has more technology.
