The interior reminds me of an SLR, not that thats a bad thaing, but I remember it being called "plactic" and "cheap" on top gear.

I'm not crazy about the front nose...I do like the headlights though...from the side it does remind the SC430...but I really like the rear...I think it's a big improovement form the last one...this one looks a lot more exotic...and also more masculine...the old one was considered a chick car...and this one is 5.5 V8...wow...that car must be fast...I can't wait to see it for real...there are tons of SLKs around here...so I guess I'll be seing one sooner or later...

nice job there I must admit. Soon, though, the roads will be flooded with it and the SLR will lose ist toutch

I like it but I don't like the resemblance to the Lexus sports car which i think sucks.

I like the design but from the side view it's a bit SC430.. :roll:
I hope the V-8 will be kompresor included...

The guages look really nice..
The roof looks like a SC430
The whole thing gives me a feel of Mini SLR

TRUE DAT! Don't you forget: it was Lexus that copied Mercedes, and never the other way around!

Hehe ok, but the SC was around for quite a while.. the new SLK was just showed.. so it's normal to say the SLK55 seems a Lexus SC... of course I doubt Merc copied Lexus shapes intentionally... but still
