The SL-Class competes with convertibles across the luxury spectrum.
Aston Martin offers the Vantage with Mercedes power, though it’s more of a pure sports car than the Benz.
BMW’s new 8 Series competes more directly with the S-Class Coupe and Convertible, but still may sway some potential SL customers.
Jaguar’s stunning F-Type offers a range of engines and a steep discount over the SL in most forms, but the SL has a better interior.
The Porsche 911 is required by law to be mentioned in any luxury sports car comparison; it’s a perennial classic.
The SL’s biggest problem is the existence of the better-looking and better-to-drive AMG GT in its own lineup.
