I give it a Yay. It looks like a baby SLR, although much more proportionate than an SLR. The front and rear are nicely sculpted, and the bulging wheel arches could definitely accomidate much bigger feet. The 6,200 rpm. redline suggests that car has an AMG motor.

i give it a yay.

however i dont like the way how it changes its coulour (black to a plastic sought of thing) on the back.

looks a bit like an sl.

[LateNightCable]

Are you serious? That plastic is merely camouflage. Just about every prototype has that to throw people off as to how the production car will look.

[mercedes_mad1]

i think it just makes the car look really cheap. do ya no wot i mean?

[LateNightCable]

I know what you mean. But rest assured, the production car will not have that grey plastic.

[mercedes_mad1]

is it definetly gona come out or is just mercedes hangin us in suspense?

[LateNightCable]

Well, seeing as there is already an SLK, I am pretty sure there will be a new one coming to replace it, and this is it. As far as the body, it looks pretty production ready to me.

And your sig is still way big. See mine? Something of that size is preferable.

[mercedes_mad1]

ok sorri. is this 1 ok?

[LateNightCable]

Thats' good.

Hallo 850 Ci,

 

schau doch mal hier zum Thema Mercedes (Anzeige)? Eventuell gibt es dort etwas Passendes.

 

Der V16 Motor zum Selberbauen (Anzeige) ist auch genial.

[mercedes_mad1]

ok

im sure i can see a bit of bmw z4 and smart roadster styling in that slk.

do u agree?

[LateNightCable]

How do you see the Z4 or Smart Roadster in the lines of that SLK?

[mercedes_mad1]

on the 6th pic down i just think it does.

on the 7th pic down they are slr front lights not slk.

[LateNightCable]

Every picture in that page is representative of a new SLK, the look of which is strongly influenced by the SLR apparently. The headlamps belong to the same car.

[mercedes_mad1]

well if you look then you will see that the headlamps are different from all the others in pic 7

[LateNightCable]

The other pics have the camouflage, thats' why they look different.

These are the SLR headlamps below.

[mercedes_mad1]

oh rte i see what you mean sorry.

im not sure if i like the rear lights much.

[thepolarfoxqx]

i'm not a big fan of the wanna be SLR look.

[LateNightCable]

I think this " wannabe SLR " carries the SLR look more tastfully than the SLR itself. This car has the tight look of a machine that turns on it's axis, which is crucial for a car to look quick on it's feet. The thing is, the sculpture is pretty true to that of the SLR, it's not really watered down, so in that sense it is a mini-SLR, not a wannabe.

Thats' one of the weakest camouflage jobs I've ever seen by the way.

[SERGIOE34]

I not a fan of any SLR look.The front of it just looks flat out shitty.I dont know what they were thinking when the desighned that nose.

[thepolarfoxqx]

the SLR is unique and interesting in just how different it is, the SLK looks like an SLK someone gave a body kit to look more like an SLR, atleast that's just how i see it, they've made it less attractive.

[mercedes_mad1]

polarfox is rite they have messed up the slr's look.

i hope they dont bring it out, i would sooner the slr itself.

i have a plan 2 get enough money for an slr by funding an elephant with a huge cocaine problem!!

[850 Ci]

what wrong with u, its not a slr wannabe, or all otehr mercedes benz is a mercedes benz wannabe. oh the c class is a clk class sand sl class wanna be, tghe e class is s cl wanna be etc. mercedes always makes all there cars look like at least one other mercedes benz, plz dont tell me u havent seen that.

I'll give it to you that most MB cars share a few facial trades but that just comes with the family just like BMW cars do too. But they're not wanabee's of eachother. They're all targeted towards a different market segment which sometimes overlap.

The SLR and the new SLR look on the SLK is just wrong. It's just a move by MB to try and boost sales by giving into the F1 hype. Look it's got a F1 nose it must be fast.

Personally I always thought the SLK was a ugly duck but now it's even more ugly. Oh well maybe one day it will turn into a beatifull white swan.

[thepolarfoxqx]

it had a certain elegance to it before, that is lost now. i don't like the new look at all, it needed to be cleaner, more sleek, CLK-ish in the nose, they didn't do that. oh well, atleast Z4 isn't as attractive, something sexy like Z3 was would own an awkward car like the new SLK.
