This car is so blah to me. I would have a tough time deciding between this and a crossfire.

Wow! That's really nice, definitely doesn't look like a chicks car anymore. Looks pretty classy and sophisticated, would look hot in black.

how much HP does the "200" model have? i bet this car is almost $50k with a 220hp V6 and there are soooooo many better cars out their for the price of this.

only a matter of time when they offered a hand shaker to the SLK. Only way to steal some business from BMW and even Audi with the TT. Wonder how much faster it is now

Depends on what your priorities are. Many luxury car buyers are interested in build quality/materials/cache, not HP.

I doubt they'll bring the 200 over here, I would guess price on it would be right at $40k. BTW, it's a 4 cylinder in the 200.

The current SLK350 has 300hp and is $53k, the SLK300 is $47k for 228hp.


I've never really cared for the SLK, this new one doesn't do anything for me either.
