2005 MB SLK :o) by azcarate

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

The Price by tksung

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...

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.

I believe the Prices! by callmedrfill

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+.

Could be true, the new SLK appears to have taken a huge leap foward in interior quality, layout and design compared to the old car. There are new pics at germancarfans dot com.
 
I'm just waiting to see what the press has to say about a stick shifted 272hp (SLK350) Benz. Should be a revelation, for a Benz that is.

It's on its way (well, nearly), so this discussion has been reactivated by request.

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.
