P15UL T Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Never been a fan of them but this one looks good Quote
Stu350z Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Merc looks ok! people look unimpressed though! Quote
bounty78 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 Me neither Paul..the previous one look a bit too girly and small. Think they got this one right. Can't really afford a SLS AMG, this is the next best thing. They think it will be out Summer this year. The price on the road will probably be around £30k onwards i'd imagine. It comes with an optional panoramic roof that changes colour to a darker roof at a touch of a button Quote
Stew Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I think the physical size is too small to pull off the front end. The C Class front looks better. That looks llike it's trying to be an SL and not a very convincing one. I really like the current shape SLK. The proportions and styling are right - especially in AMG trim. I'll have a look in the flesh though. I might change my mind! Quote
Dblock Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Agree with Stew the slk55 is the bomb. This one somehow looks like a vauxhall. Quote
Ekona Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 It's still fugly. Mercedes haven't designed a car for years that I'd want to spend my hard-earned on. I'd have an SLS, but that's AMG created. Quote
Chris`I Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Agree with Stew the slk55 is the bomb. This one somehow looks like a vauxhall. +2 - looks like they've taken the current one and bolted the SLS front end to it. SLK is too small to pull it off right. Quote
bounty78 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 The previous version is a bit marmite..did like them when the were first out until i saw lots of ladies in them over the years. I kinda like this one each to their own Like the M-styled side grill and the daytime running lights in the headlights. I agree Merc can be better in the looks department. Quote
Ekona Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 the daytime running lights in the headlights. The DRLs are on the lower half of the front bumper, not in the headlights. Quote
bounty78 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 If you look closely in the headlights..they are a bit like the Audi's. i might be wrong..they might be non functioning ones. I am not a bit fan of the drl as the fog light(like the new E Class-now that is fugly). Quote
bounty78 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 It's still fugly. Mercedes haven't designed a car for years that I'd want to spend my hard-earned on. I'd have an SLS, but that's AMG created. what if they put this beast into production Quote

LRF4N Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 It looks good for a hairdressers car but I wouldn't get one. Iv got my eye on it's big brother lol Quote
AK350Z Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Much prefer the current styling myself, fail. Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Don't like that, the only good thing about an SLK is the Air Scarf Quote
Ekona Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 It's still fugly. Mercedes haven't designed a car for years that I'd want to spend my hard-earned on. I'd have an SLS, but that's AMG created. what if they put this beast into production Oooh, hadn't seen that before. The front's a bit heavy and the wheels are miles too big, but otherwise it looks much better. Definitely shows promise, good find. Bet it'll come with a bland interior and a slush box if they ever make it though Quote
bounty78 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 Dan..u haven't seen the derriere yet Quote
Ekona Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Much better angle, still not helping those wheels though. Otherwise that's lovely Quote
M13KYF Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 always liked the amg one but never fancied them in other specs Quote
bounty78 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Sneak preview of the new SLK: Quote
ioneabee Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I went to test drive the current SLK (unfortunately it was only the 200) - but found it so underpowered and the autobox just wouldn't change when I needed it - basically it was not nice overall !! I asked the dealer to contact me for a test drive in a 350 - but typically of this garage (Sinclair, Neyland, Pembrokeshire) - they never, ever ring back - they must have lost more deals than I can imagine. When I went to get the Audi TT (Lease) - I gave them every opportunity to contact me.................FAIL !!! Quote
bounty78 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Agreed..some merc dealers are a bit stuck up...the one in Lincoln was the same..none of the sales person actually came up to speak to us, wonder if we were underdressed We couldn't afford it anyway..we were just being nosey..checking out the new E-Class coupe Quote
Stew Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Agreed..some merc dealers are a bit stuck up...the one in Lincoln was the same..none of the sales person actually came up to speak to us, wonder if we were underdressed We couldn't afford it anyway..we were just being nosey..checking out the new E-Class coupe There is no reason to be snobby when you work at a car dealer. My Dad walked in and bought a new S Class in jeans (probably £12 from Tesco) and a T shirt. He always switches the full amount too. Sarnie bought a Lambo in flip flops and shorts! One of my mates REGULARLY buys £100k cars (3 or 4 a year sometimes more!!!) and he is 28 and looks like he's fallen off a skate board. Money doesn't always show. Quote
bounty78 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Thanks Stew..the fact of the matter is me and my brother can't afford a new Merc from new anyway ..we were just curious about the new E-Class coupe when it was first out. They could probably tell the moment we walk through the door Quote
