Wow, as popular here as herpes I see.

Not a big fan of that split lower front part but other than that, I love it.
Liked the 1st gen, loved the 2nd gen, love this one even more.

Really? What interior is this SLK's bad compared to!? I was also in a ML500 recently and I thought the interior (light colored) was stunning.

And I was in my neighbor's E class the other night - LOVE that interior. The 'halo' light on the ceiling is really cool.

I have to see more pictures of it with the top up to render final judgement, but I don't think it looks nearly as elegant as the R171. The lines don't work for me, I'm not a fan of the split bumper or the wheel arches (which I don't like on current-gen either but seem worse now, and look hideous with overhead lighting as in one of those pictures with the silver SLK).

I actually love the idea of a hardtop roadster, as I hate the road noise of soft tops at high speed, and really grew to like the R171 styling. This is definitely a step down though.

I've only grown to like the SLK more as it has evolved. I thought the first gen was too soft and feminine, which is something they changed with the redesign, and this is more of a freshening than a redesign. I think it looks good, but I guess I'm in the minority here.

One of the very few small roadster that is a hardtop.
I'd take 335i convert coupe over this.

Do you mean the R171 redesign? Because even though I've come to like it better, I actually thought they made it more feminine than the last gen I just don't have a problem with that.

That v-slit in the front isn't doing it for me.

It's supposed to look like a race car? Sorry, but it's still a cute car no matter how many gills and vents you put on it.

Also worth noting inside is that they turned most of the silver-finished buttons back into normal black buttons. I wonder why they did that; I quite like the silver buttons on our SLK.

Yeah, thats what I mean. I just think that the sharper lines of the 171 make it look less feminine. But thats just my opinion..

I like the red leather seats, but the rest of the interior is not my thing. The dash and center console look very plain.
