SLK production start & dates
SLK AMG 55 start production in August in Germany (that's regular production, they obviously have been trickling some out to dealers already).
That means if you are REALLY early on the list on netstar and really lucky, you COULD get the car early October - but that's assuming that some of the first AMGs are earmarked for the US. So a delivery date of October / November right now (if you have ordered, not just 'pre-ordered') for the US seems the most probable.
The official Sales start in Germany is September (again, signaling that the first batch will stay domestic and obviously the cars have a much shorter way, no customs etc. to go through). About 40% of AMG's production is sold to the US.
Cheers,
Dan.

Too bad it's not in my budget this year!
