Common Pando, is the new stock SLK really that bad? It sure as hell blows the old design out of the water, you got to admit.

[Gtek-i]

take those hideously disgusting rims and put on AMG's, get 4 exhaust pipes (chrome), and make it black. Then youve got a masterpiece!

Well the standard SLK 55 AMG isn't that bad... There are much more offensive cars on the market...

Don't get me wrong, I really like AMG's and most Mercedes' aren't bad at all, but the styling on this SLK series - just no. It looks like a suit combined with basketball sneakers. I guess when it comes to looks the SLK's were never among my favourite models.

I agree on that, I've always preferred the SL class. The reason I like the SLK is not so much the design, but because they have a model that offers a standard transmission, and the SL never gave people that choice. I don't know why. Maybe the market for cars like the SL is just full of lazy old people. It would be so much more fun to have it as a standard IMO.

Whenever I see the new SLK, I feel that its rump is too round looking. A bone-line or crease would have lessened the rounded rump look. A smaller lip-spoiler might do the same.

The giant wheel and the drop, cheapen an otherwise classy car. This spoiler just doesn't fit, only causes me to imagine some unfavorable things about the misguided owner... money, no taste, limp, lives based on what others think, probably had the interior tore up to install 'real' speakers and amps, crap he made me spend a lot of time thinking about this car...

EDIT: Just had a better look at unmolested SLKs here and noticed it does have a very well defined crease, even a little up-turned to look like a lip-spoiler. Still, the car would look much nicer with a more toned rump...

The Mercedes SLK series cars are as ugly as the participants of a Weight Watchers meeting (or the guests on Maury ). The SLK series looks terrible. 1990-2005 Mercedes S series cars are beautiful looking cars when they are compared to the SLK series.

SLK's occupy that rare and lucrative niche in the market for what have come to be known as "hairdresser's cars." What this entails, Sadly, is that the SLK (whether or not it has the SLR's nose) will mostly be bought by effeminate, metro-sexual-esque men, women, or those suffering their mid-life crisis. Which is a shame, as the new SLK's are actually not the flabby, pointless, softly-sprung SLK's we've come to know and hate. EVO magazine gives the new model 4.5 stars out of 5, commenting on improved steering feel, balance, communication from the chassis, etc. The trouble is the image. Who in their right mind would shell out god knows how much money; probably around 60,000 U.S. dollars for a car usually driven by some rich ****er's wife? Well, the addition of the SL55's engine sans supercharger gives a clue, but the song remains the same.

This car will appeal to anybody who demands the biggest displacement engine in the smallest chassis possible. The trouble is, Shelby Cobra 427 replicas already have that market cornered. (Plus. the Shelby looks like it might have a pair of balls.)
