It's on its way (well, nearly), so this discussion has been reactivated by request.
#13 of 226 Huge improvements, this one looks great! by cybersol Jun 25, 2004 (12:27 am)
Car styling is subjective, but to me the new car is just plain sexy while the old one is just old. The new 3.5L V6 generates impressive hp AND torque numbers, and is a vast improvement over the old 3.2L. The new 7 speed auto appears to be designed to offer the performance of a 6 speed manual. With 0-60 in around 5.5 seconds, if they make the new rack-and-pinion steering system sufficently sporty, then this should be a sweet coupe, much less a hardtop convertible!   The only question is what the new prices will be. If Mercedes offers this starting around 47-50k USD, then they might just get my next car purchase.

Well that is exactly where it will be priced so get your checkbook ready!!!!   M
#15 of 226 WOW by saugatak Jun 25, 2004 (3:17 am)
The SLK 3.5 is a HUGE improvement over the old 215HP v6. It looks HOT too.   As long as MB gets rid of those 600 useless electronic functions and ups its reliability, they've got nothing to worry about from Bungled BMWs or Lexus.   In terms of looks, there is NO contest.
#16 of 226 Winter Driving? by wvubenz Jul 09, 2004 (8:58 pm)
Does anyone know how the SLK performs in winter (snowy) weather? A past SLK or 2005 SLK? This is my main concern since it is rear wheel drive.

#18 of 226 great looks and possible pricing by mbenoun Jul 19, 2004 (8:39 am)
I was at the Mercedes-Benz Tennis at UCLA and they had a SLK350 in red. IT was gorgeous!!! If UK pricing is any indication (29,000 lbs for base price) ,the US price should be approximately 53K.
#19 of 226 by merc1 Jul 19, 2004 (8:53 pm)
That seems a little steep for a base price, I hope that was a well-optioned model. The SLK350 should start around 45K and top out at the price you saw.   The 220hp(?) SLK300 should start at 38K or so. The SLK should sell like nickel beer at those prices.   M

I sure hope your correct. Otherwise, they might be pricing themselves out of the market. Replies to this message: ibmindless (Aug 07, 2004 1:58 am) alsalah (May 27, 2005 6:19 am)

Replying to: mbenoun (Jul 20, 2004 1:48 pm) I saw a new SLK350 on the road today. Silver, with the top down. Very sleek and stunning. I guess they're out now? Replies to this message: alsalah (May 27, 2005 6:19 am)
