Stolen from pistonheads!

Really like the look of this, a good competitor to the Z4 in terms of looks imo!

NO HOTLINKING

Looks like a Chrysler Crossfire

Quite glad that they're moving away from the 'girly' looks of the past.

Is a new SL due out at any point soon?

It looks to me like a bear is driving the car in the second photo :confused:

Good looking car though.

volospian · 13 Jan 2011 at 14:15

I like!

Peerzy · 13 Jan 2011 at 14:16

Like the look of it, not too sure on the front grill bit though....

An improvement.

Sp00n · 13 Jan 2011 at 14:19

The front is too square for such a small car imo and from the front of the door back, it looks like the old slk.

Peerzy · 13 Jan 2011 at 14:23

Front looks like that new Merc supercar, which is all well and good on the supercar but it doesn't suit the smaller SLK I don't think.

Middle (80% of it) reminds me of an S2000 which I think is brilliant, rear looks fine to me.

I like it but it seems as though the back end isn't as square as the front which is strange. Need to see a better pic to make sure though.

I like that! :cool:

But...

Neighbour's got a Crossfire in that exact colour and yeah that photo does look quite similar.

Looks nice but I Don't see the resemblance to a Crossfire

Cosimo · 13 Jan 2011 at 16:01

I quite like that and the red suits it.

Rotty · 13 Jan 2011 at 16:10

think I prefer the current one

Vita · 13 Jan 2011 at 16:12

Loving how red is the hot colour at the moment. :cool:

My thoughts too.

I thing the current one looks fantastic tbh, a million miles better than the original but still a little feminine looking.
This one just looks more male than female for me. SLK55 sounds like it will be a 5.5 beast as well!

It's been out for a while.

I'm not, this will mean my car being lost in a sea of red instead of popping up in a sea of white.

That's really nice. Looks like a mini SLS inside and a mini SL from the outside.

Participant · 13 Jan 2011 at 17:00

That SL would get it. SL600 yes please. Or maybe the 900cc twin-charged hybrid version.
