SLK55 or SL55
 

Sure, you can say real men drive the SL.

Sure, you can say the SL has more power.

But, does it look as cool?

SLR

I take the SLK, looks slick :thumbsup

Sl ofcourse.

The SL65 or The SLR :thumbsup

Something about the SLR just doesn't look practical. Who needs more poweer than the SLK already provides? I'm a grown man, I'm not drag racing anywhere. I live in a metropolitan area where I'm lucky to be able to do 100 for more than a minute.

If you live in another area that allows you to do more than that regularly I envy you.

I completely agree with you. But I'm 6'1"-6'2" I test drove the SLK before settling upon the G35. There wasn't enough room in the SLK for me. I need my seats wayyyyy back.

In the new one or the old one?

slk is a chick car!

the old one, i was just bout to hop back in here and point that out. this was in 03

I would also take the SL.

SLR is the best.....but SL if you cant afford the price tag of the SLR.

Neither. Dont spend the money on a car like that for some fucker with no insurance to crash, or some fuck stick in the parking lot to key or ram a grocery cart into it.

well alot of MB enthusiasts were mad that Mercedes was borrowing the SLR's face for the SLK and the SL's retractable hardtop. Mercedes went against all the criticism to attract more men to the car.

either one would do :)

automatic, automatic... id rather walk

Man, I'll tell ya from personal experience, you dont need ANY room to open that car up, and its, just the most rediculous car, maybe ever........ That car is on a whole different world !!!!!

get used to it, manual gear boxes will soon be all but gone. Don't be fooled....these cars aren't fitted with "steptronic" (aka torque converters) they are REAL electrohydrolic gearboxes. Once you drive a Ferrari with paddle shifters, or even an M3 with SMG II. You will all but forget about manuals. Cars are now utilizing the same technology found in F1 racing cars....you don't hear those guys complaining and they're doing 210 down straightaways :1orglaugh

m5

8 chars :)

aren't M5's banned from Canada? Or is it just the M3? I remember hearing something about this :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

not acutally banned...just something fitted on the car doesn't meet canadian standards. kinda like the GTR's and the U.S.

I am thinking abou getting the slk55 I just can nto justify the price of the sl55 but the retractable hard top and the fact that it is even with 80-100K porches for 60K makes me go hmmmmm. bang for the buck... slk55 is good.. still ahev to go test drive it and see if I like it as much as the porsche.

SL for sure.

BMW's are for rich teens until you get onto the 6's and 7's.

neither do it for me. but the sl55 is the only one i'd consider. slk looks like a squashed version of the sl..

Honestly, compared to the last one the new SL is a bit squashed so the SLK isn't much worse to me.

Agreed.


j-

Sl for shizzle... My buddy has one, nice car

slk55 all the way

slk55 looks better

Alpina B7.

And...

BMW > Mercedes Benz

I'm German, I should know. LMFAO!

Sorry dude but real man drives BMWs or porsches or other REAL sport cars, not this kind of luxury for the old peeps

wow..........

SLK55 also still lookig at the sl500 but its a slow poke compares to the slk55 and it cost 40K more... now the sl600 is different altogether but its 100K more..

6.0 Liter 12-Cylinder Twin-Turbocharged 552HP Engine feeds the All Wheel Drive system.

what exactly is the point in spending that much on a car?

The slk55 is 60K which is a expensive car but not an out of this world car.

and it goes real fast.. which is what apeals to me. Real fast at a decent price. I like good bang for the buck..

show me other options on a car that goes 0-60 in 4.9 seconds thats cheaper than 60K and if it looks decent I will get that instead.

i wasn't criticizing the car, i just don't see any real advantages it has over a 20k honda in "real world" use, but that's just my take on it.
