nice
i like the look of new slk specially the interior

is nice to see the slk will now offer 6-speed manual and a 7speed auto.. that is just insane

slk55amg will be 360hp...only 10hp+on current slk32

yeah 10bhp...but its a V8 engine...which produces +60Nm, so the acceleration will be below 5 sec!

Will it have the same sound like the SL55 AMG? Or will it be less pounding on your ears?

The front end of the new SLK reminds me of a smaller and more affordable very of course of the Mercedes SLR...I like this particular SLK though

The new SLK looks about the same overall though. Maybe it's a good thing. The front-end, i like. It would be harder for Merc now that there are LOTS of small coupe/roadsters on the market.
