I saw it earlier on a Vortex, did a search here...figuring NFS4 would have posted it here...but he didnt...so I guess I will.

It's a really neat commercial for the new Benz SLK. It doesn't showcase the car's feature as much...but it's really nice visually. You'll see what I mean. Also excellent background music too...anyone know the song in the background?

Doens't change fact that car is overpriced and has extremely low reliability.

New new gen SLK looks much improved over the last. As some Mercedes insiders have said, "It's no longer your hairdresser and his boyfriend's car."

I'm pretty sure that was either Clarkson or Hammond that said that (on Top Gear). The twin turbo V12 engine sure looks nice, in any event.

Overpriced, yes, but where are you getting the extremely low reliability from?

He's not really trolling, if you watch the top gear episode they had A LOT of electrical problems with their brand new SLK. They liked the Audi S4 Cabriolet better

That is still only one car, an isolated incident. If a bunch of production cars have problems, then you'd have an argument.

You'd think MB would take the time to check the car they send to a show for defects, especially one as widely watched as Top Gear :eek:
