Thinking of getting one of dese :)

I'm thinkin of getting of one of these SLK's..but i cant decide if i should get the SLK 350 (i really want a manual two seater)
or the AMG automatic.

does anyone have the aproximate price of each cuz i would like to know the difference.

If i would get the slk 350 i would get the AMG package or buy aftermarket BRABUS kit so that would leave me a price a lil closer to the AMG but i like to know how much

i guess what itll come down too is the test drive and what these babies look like in person too

you can order the "AMG-styling" to your SLK 350, gives a great look. and 272HP will go ahead for sure!

350 is really the way to go for the new SLK. I dnot know if you have a choice between the 200 as well but the 350 would be better espcially since it has the new engine and 7 speed transmission.

The 350 will do you good, put on a brabus body kit and it's gonna look awesome

haha yah itll look pretty nice with the brabus kit..i wanna put some LOUIS VUITON inetrior in it too

whats yer guys opinion on it being a "girls" car?

I think the 350 is the way to go too..AMG jus seems so too much
for me since it would put alotta damage on my bank and i dun like the automatic but i gotta feel the speed of it to really have a crrect judgement.

overall 350 seems just about right but theres no rush for me
ill just chill for now and wait till it comes out.
im too bizzy working nowadayz to enoy it anyway.

The 350 has alot going for it, but the AMG is the only truely non-girly SLK.

I'm the wrong person to ask as I only like Brabus kits on Smarts.
