Editor's Advice:
Sure it costs an arm, a leg and a kidney (you really need just one), but the 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG is one of the most beautiful, most desirable cars that we've laid our eyes on in quite some time. Fantastically gorgeous whether the hardtop is up or down, the SL65 dazzles with its beautifully outfitted interior as well as for its myriad of safety and technological features. Since BMW cancelled the sexy Z8 last year, Mercedes-Benz has effectively cornered the market on ultra-luxury roadsters with the SL65 AMG.
