On a related note: if the new C-class gets a Formula-1 nose in a variant, will the newer SLK lose the SLR nose???

No problem.. I am getting overly anxious, waiting for my SLK order.. still 3 weeks to go.... :-(
I bought the Xbox360 game Test Drive Unlimited, which is the only next-gen game to feature the SLK, so that's the only SLK I'm driving around right now.. lol
Here's a pic of the SLK and the M-B showroom in the game (from IGN):

Nope, it's exclusive for XBox360.
Pros:
* Great car selection (sports cars, supercars)
* Drive around entire island of Oahu (in Hawaii)
* Race with computer controller cars offline
* Race with real people online
* Race against the clock
* Download additional cars as they become available
* Build a character, customize him/her
* Purchase real estate and cars over time as you make more money (in the game)
* Includes other non-race missions such as transporting vehicles, giving people rides...
Cons:
* Car graphics lack the polish/shine of PGR3 on Xbox360
* Controls are inferior to other racing games
* No real Porsche cars, if you really want one (but does have Ruf variants)
