Murcielago anyday!!
I'd also prefer the Mercedes CL55 AMG, Ferrari 360 Modena and Ferrari 550 Maranello. Although the CL55AMG would be a little tough choice :)

mercedes is something i have dreamt about since i was a kid..have a soft corner in my heart for these mercedes..i love these 2 seaters!
but ya definitely these lot of better cars than SL 500..still its close 2 my heart..wish could buy one !

A McLaren Mercedes SLR.... my ultimate dream car!
And this car isnt an all out sports car... its a luxury tourer. It can't even be compared to the Porsche, the ferrari's and the lambo's.... those are proper sports cars.

[SIZE=2]Spotted a SL 500 near Lavelle Road Coffee Day , bangalore a few weeks back .. Must say the car is sure a stunner .. However still prefer the murci that i saw a few days prior to the spotting of the SL 500 .. [/SIZE]

I'm sorry but how can you compare an SL500 to the likes of the Murci. Theyre in completely seperate ranges.

What the hell is "parameter steering" as stated in the standard equipment list? Never heard of it before.

I saw this model today on Sanfrancisco Highway. Looks very nice. The Honda copied the tail lamp design of this car in new Honda Accord.

More steering assistance at slower speeds, less at higher speeds.

Rehaan, so essentially the same EPS system that some Marutis have?

It is not the same.Maruti's EPS provides assitance only at lower speeds.it cuts off above 40kmph.

What Mercedes has is Variable Assistance Hydraulic power steering which varies the assistance according to the speed(same as What Reehan said) and also according to the driving style and the driving mode(like sport ,comfort etc) .
