I imagine only hardcore Merc fans will be buying these, as you could get a GT3 for that kinda money.

I am a harcore Merc fan and I still would go for the GT3, the Merc is tons of fun but les able on a track, depends on what you are going to use it for.

Yes, i agree with the others that its expensive but in the other hand its better from its rival in any category!!!It would outrun easily the boxters,Z4ms, TTs and you name it easily in the straight line and i think with the reduced weight, aerodynamics, new 7 speed gearbox and the other updates would be faster around the twists!!!Also, this special edition SLK is a looker and have all the luxury and the usual toys from mother Mercedes!!What else could you ask for
