MB Ordering Guides

Check out http://www.beckimports.net/ for a collection of U.S. ordering guides showing all standard features and options. For the SLK, it shows the available exterior/interior color combinations, which I don't think we've seen up until now.

Interesting. Parktronic does not seem to be available as a US option. Distronic either for that matter. Aren't these options available on the new SLK in Europe? Also looks like unless you get the AMG package one cannot have the steering wheel mounted shift feature which is available as a separate option elsewhere.

Distronic was never a option for the SLK.

And as far as i know, the steering wheel mounted buttons are standard with the 7-speed transmission.

Tobacco Brown

Maybe I'm missing it, but where is the tobacco brown interior?

Good point. It's not there. I've heard it may be in the launch edition, along with Pewter exterior, which isn't available in the order guide either.

I think the pewter with the tb interior would be a great combination...maybe they have them both there, but under different names?

I don't think they are under separate names. They appear to be missing.
