Wait

MB Spy reports that the R171 will be introduced in September 2003. We will know what the final design is then.

i say wait because then if you don't like the new style you'll be able to get an awesome deal on the old ones!

well recently MB has never disappoint people with their design
at least not as much as BMW done to thier BMW followers

one thing for sure,the new SLK will follow the lines of the SL on the side profile. front is a bit subjective

well its up to MB whether they want to make the SLK front as nice as SL or SLR but they cant make it "too nice" so it compete with the more expensive models of their line up. see my point?
