Looking at the sleek, timeless physique of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class available at Fletcher Jones Motorcars serving Fremont; it's hard to believe the iconic car is celebrating its 60^th anniversary. It might not sport gullwing doors any more. But, with sophisticated technology (including a hard top that opens in just 16 seconds), lithe curves, and feisty 382-515 rearing-and-ready-to-go ponies of power (depending on the model); it comes off as extremely youthful and energetic.

How is Mercedes-Benz celebrating the SL-Class's 60-years of success? By bringing back one of the first SL-Class models to ever roll of the production line and making it look like new again.

Not only does such a gesture serve to commemorate the beloved Mercedes-Benz model. It also offers a nice then-now perspective, which is most welcome as Mercedes-Benz prepares to ring in a new era with the sixth-generation SL500 and SL350, next year.

But, let's not get ahead of ourselves. The sophisticated 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Roadster and 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG are both available at Fletcher Jones Motorcars now,  starting at $103,650 and $140,440 respectively. Among the two luxury sports cars' biggest claims to fame are their fully active suspension and robust drive. Take the SL550 Roadster...It can accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour (mph) in a mere 5.3 seconds. The Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG - in just 4.5 seconds!
