Hi - freakin' n00b here. Traded my Range in against this 04 about a month ago. Only had 25k on it, still under warranty, and is very clean. Original owners were a retired couple that traded it in against an extremely nice motor home (coach style).

Anyway, its not my DD and I came here looking for info on mods and tuners like RennTech. Getting lots of crazy ideas now.

I dont think so, but yes in the slk you find a fabulous 6 cyl with manual shifter, if sl is manual too it probably very sporty and a joy to drive.
I really miss to have shifter/clutch, with sl control limited and shared with computer.
This why i say if they make more sporty sl (I call it slX) many will buy.
Either manual shifter or really fast paddle shifter like ferrari or porsche.
On sl550 shifter so slow, the numbers change quickly on dash display, but the gears shift much later, too much time between engagement revs drop and so does et.
I read the roof will become carbon fibre but didnt say whether folding lost.
If folding lost then big mistake in my opinion. If not for folding roof i would have bought a BMW or R8 or....I travel much so stuck with 1 car.
