Probably, but knowing Mercedes, it'll probably still defy physics and do 0-60 in like 4.2 or something silly.

So true. MB has a way of making you scratch your head at spec sheets vs results.

I wish they kept the twin turbo's for this car the SLK always got the weaker engine.

SLK's the perfect addition to ones Mercedes Benz garage, used exclusively by the Mrs.

That's the appeal.

i like it alot. There is nothing to not like about this car: its fast, probably handles really well, its gorgeous inside and out im sure. It will come with a hefty price tag, no doubt about that. if i could afford one id get it for sure.

Because they get giant V8's and add a kompressor to it. I mean, big engines are awesome, but I like how BMW USED TO make big power with small engines. Now, BMW and Honda are just trying to get bigger instead of going smaller and squeezing everything out of it. I'm glad the new M5 has a turbo V8, as opposed to the V10 from last.
