Another Cover - this time Consumer Reports

Consumer Reports - New Car Ratings & Reviews 2005

Silver SLK 55 on the cover with the caption HOT CARS Best Bang For Your Buck!

The first article reviews a 350 - they are very pleased

SLK 230
OF course they are going to be pleased...

Sure they are going to be pleased new car etc. But I think the quality of the new SLK interior whilst cleaner is a lot more tackier than the old model - it seems they have cheapened some of the materials used which is tragic really. The SLK 55 is a nice car but with that money i would still go for the SL.

If I had been squished into a SLK230/toyota for god knows how long, I would be ready for a change too. So when are you going to trade in your 230 for an SL. I hear the 65s are nice

I disagree completely about the SL over the SLK. The SL is VERY overpriced for what you get. Heck, for the price of 1 SL I got an SLK and almost all of my E55T too.
