Got my new SLK 55!

Picked up my new 2014 black/designo porcelain SLK 55 AMG yesterday! Traded up from a SLK 350 2012. What a difference in power and sound. Love it.

What a beauty! Only thing I am disappointed in with the SLK is it has no MBTex or leather dash available like on euro models

I agree. As I was driving home from work this evening, I was thinking how nice the dash would look covered in leather.
