I'd guess that either

1. The NY Show car is the "Final Edition", not the "Special Edition".

or

2. The NY show car is for the US market and different from either the Special Edition or Final Edition sold in Europe.

#1 is not possible because the car was clearly marked "Special Edition" Along with the same special edition badges.

#2 is possible, however I think the final rim design wasn't done so temporarily they put on the C7 - C-Class rims until they could decide which would be the final set.

OK, I couldn't see the badges from the pic, but I believe #2 is correct and it is a special edition for the US market only. I see the SLK32 spoiler, but I don't see any other special features on the exterior. The final edition in Europe has chrome trim on the A-pillars, but no spoiler.

As I recall, the 2000 Limited Edition SLKs were not available in Canada. They were also not that "limited" since 10% (just over 1000 cars) of all '00 model SLKs sold in the US were Limited Editions.
