GermanCarFans: 2005 Mercedes Benz SLK

[GTaudiophile]

Step back in both interior and exterior design IMO.

But that SLK55 must be a barn-stormer!

 

[z0mb13]

the 55 engine will fit???

I think they will use 32 amg instead

 

[Descartes]

I really like the exterior.

 

[loup garou]

I like the exterior. The multi-spoke wheels make it look a bit too busy imo, I'd go with some simpler rims.
And the rear end of that car is HOT. Looks great.

 

[mrCide]

looks hot

 

[KillaBong]

Pretty ugly imo. I'll stick with an e55.

 

[SaintGRW]

so damn sexy, just like every other benz

"The new eight-cylinder SLK-Class is priced at 63,974 euros."

Cripes!! That is $81,697.49 based on current exchange rates!! Am I missing something here?

That is one UGLY mofo. Whatever happened to elegent design?

 

[TommyVercetti]

All lower class minions will just oogle at the pictures of this fine car. Upper class intellects like me will take the real thing, thank you. Geoffery, please drive the newest Benz upto the front door, and please watch out for the Rolls this time.

Agreed, the exterior design makes me want to wretch, but the interior looks nice enough.

Though, I wouldn't kick a SLK55 AMG out of bed for eating crackers. Man, that would be a riot to drive.

edit: Autozine says the 0-60 and 1/4 mile of the new naturally aspirated C55 AMG is less than the old supercharged C32AMG and is heaver. It would be a shame if the new SLK AMG was slower too. :frown:

Me likey!

Very nice design....will make my decision to get a new car next year even harder.

 

[Maximus96]

the front sure looks like the SLR. i like it.

 

[Night201]

Just saw it in person today. It's very sweet!

 

[ElFenix]

the SLR design is a bit garish for such a chick car

 

[prontospyder]

looks good

 

[WhiteKnight]
