2004 SL55 AMG
New SLK On AutoExpress

Funny how the editors refer to the SL as the "bigger sister" of the (feminine) SLK.

Some nice pics of the "air-scarf." Hopefully it works efficiently with insignificant weight gain (integration with the seats) and is transferred to the SL in the future.

Does the SL need Airscarf? If the SLK does that tells me its draughty inside.

Seems an expensive option - £1400, $2000+, 5% of the car's value...

C-Class
the AIRSCARVE option costs here in germay about 480€, i think it´s worth the money.

...in which case the magazine article I read mis-reported the price. I agree, at that level, it's worth having. Hope it works better than the ventilated seats in the SL though...

there'a a lot of misreporting in the Autoexpress 2 page article and very little detail about the driving experience. A poor show compared to Autocar's 4 page article published a day earlier.
