New spy photos have emerged thanks to the fine gentlemen of Motor Trend that provide some glimpses as to what we can expect from the next-generation Mercedes SL-Class.  Making the spy photos even better is the fact that accompanying the next-gen SL, a current model is also present, thus making comparisons between the two a little easier task.

Overall, it appears the next SL will maintain overall proportions similar to the current model (in other words, this isn’t going to be anywhere near magnitude of changes we saw the SL undergo in 2003).  A flatter nose is visible, even with heavier camouflage up front, while repositioned mirrors are another obvious change.  Inside, new air vents like those of the SLS AMG are present, while the navigation screen has been enlarged and moved up.

As for the rest of the changes, I’ll let you check out the photos and judge for yourself.  To see more of the next-generation Mercedes SL, visit the spy photo gallery below or head over to Motor Trend where you can view the original article in its entirety.
