SLK280 or SLK300 coming this summer?

I've read that there will be a SLK280 or is it SLK300 coming this summer. Should start around 38k + options. Anyone know more information?

SLK280 was on display at the NY Auto show.
It will slot under the SLK350 as the entry level model in the US.
It has a new 3.0 Litre engine with ~230hp if I am not mistaken.

Cheers!

SLK 230
200K - soon to die?

My my I bet all those people who rushed out to get the first SLK 200's are really kicking themselves to be left with such an underpowered machine...

SLK 230
Fuel economy...

I wonder what the fuel economy is for that vehicle...and i wonder if this means they are going to bring in more lower to mid range SLs?
