#1 of 226 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK by merc1 Jan 08, 2004 (5:40 am)
The new SLK350 has a 272hp V6 and new 6speed manual, new SLK55 AMG has a 360hp V8. Sadly no manual on the AMG V8 version.... Stylewise it's just the spy pics have indicated all along, and evolution of the current car with one major change, a SLR style front end. New Airscarf system keeps your neck warm during colder top down driving (!). New 7G-Tronic tranny optional for SLK350, and (standard) for the first time on a AMG product the SLK55 AMG. The V6 is an all new direct injection unit, MB also went back to 24V/DOHC technology, along with whole host of other tricks. The new car should surpass the 300K+ sales the old SLK did since it's fall 1996 launch.   M

It is a welcome change in direction that they have decided to bring in a V6 with 6 speed manual transmission. I have this attitude filters down to other Mercedes models too.( I know about the existing C class and SLK stick shift models)   I might be in the look out for one ( If it handles like my Honda S 2000.)

#6 of 226 2005 MB SLK :o) by azcarate Jan 29, 2004 (11:02 am)
Ok this car is HOT!!! I am in the market for a convertible... I was pretty much set on the BMW 330 until now :o)   When can we expect this car to be released in USA? Is the $ going to be increased dramatically?   The SLK is a great looking car! Does anybody have any pictures from the interior of this car?   Thanks, Cristian Replies to this message: wvubenz (Jul 09, 2004 9:12 pm)
#7 of 226 The Price by tksung Feb 01, 2004 (11:13 pm)
I won't be surprised if there is a large increase, especially given the euro appreciation. I'd guess at least $52k for slk350 and $55 with G7. That'll a heck of money. I'd love to have one, but I may have to settle for s2000...
#8 of 226 Revised Price Estimate by tksung Feb 01, 2004 (11:24 pm)
According to http://www.carbc.com/Car-News-680.html, it's $55k for the base slk350. Add initial markup, it could be $58k. A lot of premium for the badge and the good look. Im definitely off to S2000...

I'd just wait for something official from Mercedes, because if those prices are right the SLK320 to SLK350 is going to be a 10K leap! That doesn't sound right, nor does 82K for a SLK55 AMG, per that link above.   M
#10 of 226 I believe the Prices! by callmedrfill Feb 14, 2004 (4:38 pm)
The Z4 tops out at 225HP, and no hardtop.      The Boxster is around $50k, with less power and softtop.      Who is the SLK's comp? I'd charge $50k+.      DrFill
