SLK/SLC Official SLK Facelift Info+Photos

[ree]

Even the standard SLK looks awesome! Jesmb.de wrote something about the "new" 3.5 litre V6 with 306 hp! I think, the press release will come tomorrow!

 

[EnI]

Oh man I hope that "10 more hp" part for the 3.5 V6 is wrong!

Where the hell is that official press release?!?!?

German press reporting 305HP for SLK, 315HP for SL, 272HP for GLK. All from the same 3.5L V6.

I hope the C gets 306.

The new sat nav screen look smaller than the previous version.

Mmm, it doesn't look very big at all. Finally the non-amg has a little attitude and an aggressive bumper.

In my opinion, this is the new APS 50. The smaller Navigation system. The Command will get a bigger display.

Thanks. That doesn't make sense for them to do that??? I demand 315hp across the board!

I like the steering wheel, but I don't like the standard exhaust pipes. Liked the oval ones better.

The AMG body kit looks good, the standard one is not my cup of tea with even more fake F1 body work. I hope they drop the whole fake F1 nose job for the next gen.

I am surprised the car is facelifted, it's still very fresh.

I thought so too, I guess MB still want to milk the F1 inspired nose&bumper a little bit more.

Sport looks good.

Standard. Yuk!!!!! Come on Mercedes, get your head out of your butt. Do they actually do any test markets for the look of this. It looks like the ML will be a dissapointing facelift.

I was hoping they would do something to brighten up the interior. Still very bland.

 

[PHYBENZ]

I don't like how the buttons on the command and seat heaters and all of that are no longer silver, but instead black. Other than that, I thought the interior was always quite sporty and nice.

I like it a lot, both normal and AMG. Love the front bumpers that appear in two parts, original, very very appealing.
Only thing, I would've preferred the rear diffuser in black, not painted.

I always found the SLK a bit too...smooth, now looks like it would be better!

 

[Zafiro]

I still think a standard SLK is a car for females the car itself look feminine. While the AMG verison make the SLK look macho

The "smooth" look is a result of too many round shapes, no detail is sharp or fierce except if you kit it out with the pre-facelifted AMG-kit which I like better than the new one. MB designed it not to look like something it's not, it's simply a glider like the SL. The popularity amongst hairdressers, fashion stylists and spoiled brats has tarnished it's image a bit.

wow love the ordinary aswell..gives it a more macho look..
the pre FL..was waaay to femenine in normal guise..

job well done MB

Do they really wanna remind people of F1 after the shit that wend down this year?

Diffuser sould have been flat black instead of the same color as the rest of the bumper. Someone want to make a quick photoshop to see what it looks like?
