I like it, and I didn't used to be much of an SLK fan. I can see how it would be impossible to fit the turbos in there with it :p

I make 400rwhp on my slk55 whilst this makes 415 to the crank.

Why don't they have a beautiful woman driving this thing???? Isn't that their crowd target anyways...I mean no self respecting MAN would take this over a boxster spyder......am I wrong???!?!

When I grow up I want to be an SLS...

The interior is great, but I cannot get over that gigantic grill and those headlights. Scale the front end down to fit the proportions of the car and it would look much better.

If it drives okay, sure, I could go for the SLK over the Boxster. I think that you're perhaps letting your allegiance to Porsche cloud your judgment ever so slightly when calling a 420hp, V8 roadster effeminate ;)
Then again, my judgment is clouded by the fact that I think the Boxster looks like a used bar of soap.

I wish SLK series had their own identities like the first one. Previous gen was a wannabe slr and this one is a wannabe sls.

The first one R170 is a wanna be SL R129 :)

The SLK is no longer a feminine car... Move over Boxster.

I actually think this one looks far less feminine than the previous generation, which I completely wrote off as a chicks car (sorry Mo). I dig it.
