Tatanko You are a Teamspeed member that Rocks and Rolls!

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

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
