You guys are being downright mean, especially you James...lol!   You know Mercedes will never put a Hemi in one of their cars.   M

Come on Merc, if the Hemi is not put into an MB, then the following classic commercial will never be made:   Scene   Snobby looking European in Armani suit driving MB SLK AMG pulls up to a ratty burger joint. Sweaty, beefy, greasy teenager leans out of drive-thru window.   European: "Excuse me sahr, but do you have some Grey Poupon?"   Teenager: "That thang got a Hemi?"

The Hemi is probably the best thing to happen to Chrysler in a good long while, but it is near-antediluvian (cylinder shut-down not withstanding), and the cars it powers are simply too big for my tastes. It is nice to see something at the Chrysler/Dodge shops lining tem up at the door again. Let's hope they don't screw the pooch with a laissez-faire 'tude this time!   That B-class hatch with the 3.2L or so? Geddouttahere!

IMO, way too many models, way too confusing. Giving so many options must also make the possibilities for error greater, which is not going to help MB's reliability.

That is the current thinking, but they only have a few more than BMW does, and Audi is coming with more models also. In Mercedes' case though some of those don't sell more than 1K units a year, some even less.   What models do you think they should eliminate?   M
#38 of 441 SLK 350 MSRP by myslk350 Jul 23, 2004 (8:27 pm)
I am #4 on the SLK 350 wait list here in BR, LA. I am very apprehensive about the sticker prices I've heard. MERC1, hope you are correct that the SLK 350 will top out at around 52K with a base sticker of approx 46-48K. Like yourself, I can't imagine that Mercedes would taint the release of this roadster with such an outrageous base MSRP; otherwise, I should just buy the Boxster S if the SLK ends up in the upper 50's.
#40 of 441 SLK 350 MSRP by myslk350 Aug 17, 2004 (3:49 pm)
I was informed of the MSRP from my local dealership, where I am waiting to place my order for the new SLK 350. The base price will be $45,900, with manual 7-speed transmission. Available options include automatic transmission, high-end Harmon Kardon stereo w/changer, and a complete upgrade package for $5,000, which includes all of the above options and more.
