rrobello, having an opinion is fine, having your opinion is find FOR YOU...
but when you get into trying to PROVE your opinion is correct with point/counter-point like your in a courtroom, guess what? IT GETS REALLY, REALLY IRRITATING
I prefer something with more seats like the M3 vert or the CLK55 cabrio.

Traded My Sl500 For Slk55amg

That being said, if its a SL 55 or 65 or obviously tuned in some way, than its usually driven by a guy. And, in this way, the SLK 55 is usually driven by a guy while most of the 350s I've seen are being driven by women.
Plus, I am used to guys telling me that the SLK55 is their dream car. Exact words. And that's for the guys who have even heard of the SLK55. Now that its been on the cover of so many magazines, more know, but before, for a guy to know about the car showed he knew what was going on. For a girl to even know it existed, and then to actually get on the list for one, and then actually own one - remember its still hard to see one at the dealership - that is way rare. So how can it be that the SLK55 is a chick's car?????

TRADED SL500 FOR MY 2006 SLK55AMG wouldn't go back. This car is more fun than any car I have owned in the last 30 years.
