The new SLKs look pretty nice. However, like some members have already mentioned, I'd be worried about the german car reliability. A have a few buddys with new BMWs and within 2 years they start having electrical issues. Not a big deal if you dont mind bringing the car in and using a loaner car I guess.

We almost bought one of the SLK350's. but it was just barely out of what we could afford realistically. The SLK55 is phenominal. It is a good trade depending on what you plan on using it for. Are you like my wife and I and get bored with cars after 2 years? then yeah move on to something different. The 7 speed auto is smooth as silk, and there is no lag from a dead stop like with the G. It is a nice car, sight lines are good out of it, unlike most convertables, and the retractable hard top is super slick. Test drive the ///AMG and you will never even consider the base model though. It is like getting in a 330ci and then test driving the M3... the difference is night and day.

I do however wish you much success in your search.

What do you see "New Model Showcase"
, but IMO if all possible I would go for the SLK55 AMG
