Seen!

Just got back from PAris where I got to see the new SLK. The car looks great in person - even sportier than the pictures suggest.

sl and M-class E320 4Matic SLK350
Thanks for reporting

Details? Color, a 200 or 350? Wheels? If you saw more than one in several colors which looked best?

There are 2 SLK's in Mercedes Benz Champs Elysees Paris showroom. One silver 200 and one black 200. The silver car is pretty standard, the black one jad a much higher spec with 350 wheels. Both had black leather interior.

I agree the car looks great and no pictures can do it justice I think the silver colour (and possibly all the light colours) suit the body lines/detailing on this car much better than black.

The standard 200 wheels look really cheap on this car.

Well that's keeping with MB tradition...you have to order a "sport" package ($$$) to get some decent wheels.
