I'm still getting conflicting reports about whether it will be a 280 or a 300, hearing a little of both. I do think either way that is close if not correct on the hp rating.

Replying to: merc1 (Mar 29, 2005 1:57 am) 1350 miles - been trouble free since tranny repair - about due for first free check-out.   I am curious about DSB's tranny problem.
#43 of 226 Need tire help--350 SLK by greasykid1 Mar 31, 2005 (7:46 am)
As we get some wnter snow I will have to change from my OEM Michelins--summer tire-- to an all season tire by next fall. Any recommendations? Have looked Tirerack site & Pirelli P Zero Nero seemed a good replacement. TR also recommended it over the phone.   Either I have to sell my Michelins or run them & change to a winter tire & then back again in the spring until they are worn. Ideas?
#44 of 226 "Year-end for MB" by therose400 Apr 02, 2005 (6:15 pm)
I am looking to lease an SLK 350 within the next 6 months. Does anyone know when the "end of model year" is for MB? Thanks so much! Replies to this message: stroudman (Apr 04, 2005 1:42 pm)

Replying to: therose400 (Apr 02, 2005 6:15 pm) Rose, you can expect a new '06 slk in or around the 1st week of sept. Also, if you don't quite need that much motor, an SLK280 will also be in the offerings, and still should have plenty of giddy-up, for less money.

Can't find a picture of this car anywhere! Is it being released in the U.S. and is it a hard-top convertible? Price is not really an issue....

The SLK280 will be the same as the SLK350 in everything except engine. Expect about 227hp instead of 268 in the SLK350.   The SLK280 should be here sometime this summer.   M

Replying to: dsb (Mar 14, 2005 10:54 pm) I usually get that feel if it's not warmed up for a few minutes in the morning.   I have had mine 2 weeks and love the ride and waiting for warmer weather. I get many complements on looks and style espically the new front end SL look.
#49 of 226 2005 SLK Owners... by merc1 Apr 29, 2005 (12:54 am)
Whats going on? Anything to report? Trying to get a feel for Mercedes' supposed to be improved reliablity.   Mileage? Any further likes/dislikes?   Also there is a glowing review of the SLK55 AMG in the June issue of Car and Driver. They didn't like the stiff ride, which is to be expected with any sporting machine in and around Detroit. Their roads are about the worst I've seen. They also said that 7-Speed jolts a little during deceleration because its downshifting through the gears. Anyone here notice that? I think that was all they didn't like. They were all for the styling, engine, handling, brakes, interior quality (so good to hear) and they did say the how the 7sp does a great job otherwise. Look at the 30-50mph and 50-70mph times and you'll see the theory behind 7 gears at work! The cars seems to be a big hit for Mercedes, which is really needed. It seems that its built like a Benz should be, now all we need is the reliability stuff from you owner folk.   Stroudman, any further info on the SLK280? None of the press material says whether or not it will use the 7G-Tronic for its automatic option. Any other real changes for 2006?   M Replies to this message: amgnut (May 01, 2005 9:46 am) merc1 (May 01, 2005 8:59 pm) amgnut (May 02, 2005 4:34 pm)
