Looks too sl-ish now to me. I'd prefer that they have some differences other than a mini-me (and a few bucks, of course).

The first and second gens had more character, imho. I'd rather pick up one of the rare SLK350s in a manny myself (well, actually, would pick a first gen Z4 M roadster instead of any Benz roadster, but that's another story).

for some reason i like the rounded front of the non AMG compared to the boxer AMG bumper, it just looks sleeker and smooth IMO

Looking a little too bloated IMO. I still prefer the older one.

I like the old design too...

IMHO the side profile of a "roadster" was perfect in the old design.

I don't think it was going to be an SLK63, it was going to be an SLK55 using a variant of the newest non-turbo 5.5

To me the interior looks retro/old school 60's Thunderbird.

I think that the grill is overpowering

I always felt that the SLK is a chick car and still do

From the photo's, I quite like this new model. I think the front end gives it the appearance of a bigger car.

Personally I think it suites it. Gives it the visual of a bigger car.
