2007/2008 SLK 350 + 'Special Edition 10' info/link

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,

I found a link on the 2008 slk 350 'special 10' edition, here is more info for whoever is interested:

Question I asked the Dealer: (in Canada)
Hello, I would like to know what body specs are different on the 07 to 08
SLK 350

This is what I found on the net:

1. "the 08 models, have a different front side grill, and some minor
changes to the tail light"

2. "08 featured on mbusa, keyless go is a new option"

3.For 2008, an anniversary edition called Edition 10 is available and marks 10 years on the road for the SLK"

4. "Other exerior tweaks include dark-gray alloy wheels with a high-gloss
“chrome shadow”, and dark-tinted rear lights. Inside, the seats, center
console armrest and gearshift lever are covered in black leather, with the
center panels of the seat cushions and backrests feature a silver-colored
under layer which shows through the perforated leather"

Please see this link for 'special edition 10' write up:

http://www.autoinsidernews.com/2006/...lk-edition-10/


I would like to know more about this "special edition 10" what may you
tell me about this edition 10 and may I see pictures of the
changes/features, I never heard of this "edition 10" before and I guess
there is stitching on the seats/floormats, do you have pictures?

Answer:
The Canada dealer told me this Edition 10 is not available for me, or not 'for my order' whatever that means..I will have to ask him.


anyone care to comment on Special Edition 10 or have one on order?


Thanks
July32
