Paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and 4MATIC all-wheel drive, the SL680 provides excellent comfort and styling, with a level of power that is contained but there when you need it. Its acceleration and comfort are second to none in this category for sure.<\/p>\n<p>For the convertible market, there is no higher class than the Mercedes-Maybach.<\/p>\n<p>Our tester was wrapped in Exclusive Surf Blue non-metallic along with Crystal White Nappa Leather and Silver Chrome accents. Over 835 Maybach logos appear on our tester, including the hood, exterior and interior trim; pretty astounding to say the least. Riding on 21-inch MAYBACH 5-hole forged wheels was also a sight to see.<\/p>\n<p>On the interior, our SL680 was a real charm to ride, drive and look at. Multi-contour heated and ventilated seats with memory and massage, a Burmester High-End 3D Surround Sound system with SiriusXM are just a few of the items recognized on our weeklong test.<\/p>\n<p>Mercedes has a long history of success in the convertible market, from the early 2000s SL500 to almost 30 years later. With more power, more comfort, same great styling and most importantly, the addition of the Maybach upper trim levels and appearance options really make it stand out to onlookers. The SL680 is a head-turner and one that I don\u2019t anticipate your neighbor to do anything but drool over and wonder where they went wrong in life.<\/p>\n<p>Grasso\u2019s Garage is here for you!
