Slk63
Today after dropping of my car off for service I see another fake.
Parked in the middle of the car lot is and slk. On the back he has an SLK 63 AMG badge. Then to make it even worse, he puts a V12 badge (from the new S600) on the sides.... Next time I see the car, be sure that some pics will be posted (i didn't have a camera with me) By the way this is in the New Orleans dealership.

Then when turning the corner I see an SL with the 600 badge and what seems to say V8 ----- (I couldn't see it too good). Tomorrow I will check.

P.S. Does any of these car belong to someone on this forum?

Absolutely disgusting. Does he expect brownie points and compliments on a car that... doesn't exist?

Yep, or known as the poor-man's bentley(like the old mits conquest was known as the poor-man's 944). But, she's fooling only herself and only making herself a fool in the eyes of others.

I think MB is going to go to a 5.4 DOHC setup on the SLK before going to the 6.3.

There is as soon as you put the stickers on it. They're worth 20HP to.
