I like the front, but hate the rear.

Saviour of the v6? - http://www.topgear.com/uk/mercedes-benz/slk/road-test/250-cgi-driven

The pick of these, for the time being, is the 250 four-cylinder petrol. This has 201bhp and 229lb ft, which is more than enough to shove the car along at a reasonable pace. 0-62mph is seen off in 6.6 seconds. What's really impressive is that you'll get 42.8mpg out of it - from a sporty roadster, that's mighty impressive.

All in, then, the SLK is an impressive step on. It will still appeal to the people who used to buy SLKs (mainly women), but it will tick a few more boxes for blokes as well now.

Agree with that.

In what way is a 4 cylinder engine the 'saviour of the V6'?

Not bad actually. However, I'm still unsure about any of the new designs, they're just not as nice at all.

Quoted the wrong bit

Because if Mercedes can build a sports car that returns 39.8mpg and 167g/km from a V6

Coming from the SLK 350. Not bad at all from a V6.

Looks like a mini SLS, what's not to like? The back end is a little bit boring though.

SLK with the 5.5 twin turbo v8 would be amazing!

Sin_Chase · 21 Aug 2011 at 21:56

Not a fan of this to be honest. Looks alright from some angles but seriously ming from others.

It looks great IRL though.
Every time I see one I think it's an SL
