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.

Only a 3.8 percent increase vs. July 2005. Overall the Germans took a beating this month, with only MB and VW posting gains.

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.

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.

I feel quite positive about these results: I see the MB glass as half full.
 
The new S is really carrying the ball. Remember that Cadillac, Jaguar, Lexus trucks, Infiniti, Acura and others are not doing doing so well this year.
 
My 3 old favorites - MB, GM and British luxury brands - sure give me fits. Seems only one at a time does well.

What years was the silver coupe next to the C126 manufactured?
 
As I told you, that is the first 'new' MB coupe I remember as a tadpole.
 
I recall very few black or navy blue MB cars (especially coupes) in the 1960s. Silver, red, tan, dark green and brown were popular. Common interiors were red, tan/cream, brown and blue.

Well that was the W111/W112 model, produced from 1961 to 1980 apparently with 28,918 units produced during those years. Anything before the 80's is iffy for me. Here is the article detailing all of them.

R320 and GL320 by wopel

Does anyone have numbers on the MPG of the upcoming R and GL diesels? As the E320 does so well with mpg, I'm hoping the other models do as well. However, I realize they are much heavier automobiles.
   I may have asked this before, but does anyone have a feel for the new pricing of the 320s? MB has a tendency to up the price for a diesel, so will that negate the better mileage?
