MB is supposedly developing a N/A 5.5L V8 for it.

Better than both of the previous generations. Actually looks like a baby SL. I like it.

I much prefer the old (current) SLK which had a ''racy'' front end that ''dipped'' a lot. Looked like a mini-SLR.

This looks like a generic Chrysler.

I'll pass.

It looks the same as the old one. You couldn't tell distinctly that it's much different from the previous one.

Scott - the front nose is completely different and the car looks more elongated and less bulbous. I heavily disliked the last one but this one looks much better to my eye.

2004 SLK55 AMG has a 5.5ltr motor

It just won't be the 4xx hp that the new one will be making.
