Thumbs up Just Watched MotorWeek SLK55 AMG Review

I just watched this week's MotorWeek (taped off PBS at 6:30 am this morning). The review of the SLK55 AMG was the last segment of the show. Bottom line, they very much liked it.

Where their SLK 350 test a couple of months ago called the 350 "magnetic," on this one at the end, they referred to the 55 as the "climax!"

The written postings are on the MotorWeek web site a week later, so it should show up soon...


BTW - If you missed it, here in the SF Bay Area it will be on KCSM (PBS) at 11 am Sunday (7/10) in the morning and again at 7:30 pm Tuesday, 7/12. KCSM is channel 17 on my comcast cable, check your provider...

The only problem with that show is that they will never say anything negative about any vehicle they test. They will always put a spin on it. You might want to go to their forum and see rebuttals by real people to some of their reviews/stories.
