Replying to: merc1 (Jul 17, 2006 8:37 pm) Thanks for the pictures - but you make me feel old!   I remember picture #2 coupes on the road and picture #3 coupes in the showroom.

Replying to: scott1256 (Jul 27, 2006 6:14 am) My reason for concern is that MB management in Europe don't seem to understand MB's position in the USA.   I wouldn't say that, because we only get the high-end models here and in the best trim. I just hope someone understands that a MB and a Chrysler can't ever be interchangable!   M
#388 of 441 SLK Black Series... by merc1 Jul 28, 2006 (1:47 am)
This thing is really hot:             First Opinion:   "The SLK 55 Black Edition proves that track-focused specials don’t need to compromise on style to really impress. Generous equipment confirms that the maker has thought hard about the demands of potential customers. But it’s the AMG’s performance that remains the biggest surprise. It’s certainly the best driver’s car Mercedes has built in this class, and one of the most thrilling, too."   Article   M Replies to this message: once_for_all (Jul 28, 2006 8:47 pm) merc1 (Aug 01, 2006 3:56 pm)

Replying to: merc1 (Jul 28, 2006 1:47 am) is it available in the US?   John Replies to this message: merc1 (Aug 01, 2006 3:56 pm)

Replying to: once_for_all (Jul 28, 2006 8:47 pm) I doubt it since they're only building like 10-15 units a month and the asking price would be like 100K here in the U.S. That is very pricey for a SLK, even a hardcore track version.   M
#392 of 441 July 2006 Sales by merc1 Aug 01, 2006 (3:58 pm)
Only a 3.8 percent increase vs. July 2005. Overall the Germans took a beating this month, with only MB and VW posting gains.   Sales   M Replies to this message: once_for_all (Aug 01, 2006 6:11 pm) albell (Aug 02, 2006 3:53 am) scott1256 (Aug 03, 2006 6:08 pm)

Replying to: merc1 (Aug 01, 2006 3:58 pm) at least they treaded water...   The US big 3 lost between 22 and 37% year on year   John

Replying to: merc1 (Aug 01, 2006 3:58 pm) Strip out the new S, and sales were pretty weak across the other product lines. Will be interesting to see if the tweaks revive E class sales.

Replying to: scott1256 (Jul 27, 2006 6:50 am) A little more on those coupes. For me it starts with the C126:     Then the C140:     Then the C215, which I thought was the best looking Mercedes since the 1990 SL:     Now of course the C216:     Stunning IMO. The design lineage is pretty strong from one design to the next.       M Replies to this message: scott1256 (Aug 03, 2006 6:21 pm) merc1 (Aug 03, 2006 9:11 pm)
