SLK/SLC-Class (R172) Mercedes-Benz SLK R172 (spy shots and info)

U are comparing the interior to a brand new ones which ain't fair,but i'm sure with the right color combo it will look gorgeous..

I hope the AMS chop is not acurate. That´s just the current car with fixed front end, and I´m afraid because the mules have the same exterior door panels than the current car.

 

[Zafiro]

News: AMG getting V6 Turbo.
Rumours: Fixed roof standard and Cloth roof will be an extra option.

Hilarious. What is a "fixed" roof on a roadster? Very bad SL chop.

LoL I used the wrong word. I meant a similar roof like the new Z4 BUT in glas. Intresting huh!

 

[vios1]

look the same from automotor und sport

Yep, because they are from the auto motor and sport homepage!!

I'm with Merc1 - it's a bad SL chop…

Has a lot of S-class as well e.g the head lights and tail lights.

 

[cawimmer430]

Terrible.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Terrible.

Understatement.

FUGLY!

 

[NarutoRamen]

That chop is just YUCK!!

Jeez, I freaking hope not. As beautiful as the Z4 is, I hope MB doesn't make this thing ugly and seal their own fates.

 

[klier]

Like Merc said, a very poor SL facelift chop. Don't worry about it

LoL I used the wrong word. I meant a similar roof like the new Z4 BUT in glas. Intresting huh!

Interesting, but a glass roof sounds heavy. But doesn't the SL already have a glass roof?

You guys are doing so non-stop in all the 5er vs new E-class threads, but I suppose this is something completely different again

That grille is probably close since it will look like the SLS as the current SLK has the SLR nose.

[NarutoRamen]

^^That looks like a mishmash of the SLS, the current SLK and gen before that. Not pretty by ANY means.

 

[PHYBENZ]

Seems to have the same rings around the guages like the current SLK.

 

[tennmb]

That autobild chop isn't bad. The lines on the Z4 are going to be hard to top. that is the prettiest roadster out there.

What is up with the funky sideview mirror placement?

 

[PHYBENZ]

What is up with the funky sideview mirror placement?

Same placement as on the CLS. It's to create a better angle and therefore a better view.

 

[HighestOfHigh]

Ohhhh ok...So the last SLK was like the SLR....Now this SLK will be like the SLS. I understand now.

The LEDs are nice too...
