Has that car got the ugly black aerial/antenna on it or has it got the more pleasing "stub" antenna as featured on the F1 Safety Car SLK55?

When I get home, I'll try to remember to post a picture of a SL55 next to a SLK55, the R171 looks much smaller.

is it just me...or does that look like a crossfire with some slits/gills in it? "they're speed holes!" i mean forgetting all the slight MB stuff like the star in the middle and the special rims. but then again i thought my W208 CLK was ugly when it came out.

Those are specifically the wheels I ordered. Many people reiterate the fact that the wheels will be hard to clean, but I think this car will be a beauty to clean

can't wait!

You have to host the pictures on another site then use a link in your post.

As a current owner of an SLK32 I am with holding my final opinion of the SLK55.

My initial impressions:

SLK55 has a much better interior.
Not a huge fan of the SLK55 exterior, but I expect it to grow on me.
SLK32 better engine choice.

Talking Thanks a lot maaaaan!

well, I like the exterior and interior, but thought of the engine mmm, V6 supercharged or V8 . . . .

similar horspower , 354, 360 , 440nm (i think) 510 nm

so the V6 isnt alot lower ...

can someone tell me the advantage of the V8 against a V6 komp.

thanx again for the instructions!

for the start, the V6 is not supercharged.

so to change your question, the advantage of the v8 over the v6 is simply more power, and a hand-built amg engine.

I think he was talking about the SLK32 vs. the SLK55.

It is easier to get more power out of the SLK32. Pulley and Chip will give you ~90 ft.lbs and ~50hp in the midrange, can't remember what peak is changed to.
