 MB has a hit with the SLK.  It is a drop-dead gorgeous roadster that continues to draw stares from all types.  Last weekend, two Harley riders gave us a thumbs-up and mouthed "nice car" as we passed.  The quality is outstanding, both interior fit & finish, and exterior paint & wheels.  With the top up, the interior is as quiet as any car that I have owned. The trunk size is reasonable... two medium duffle bags and a 12 pack cooler provide plenty of room for a weekend getaway.  Mileage is 19 city & 24-25 hi-way.  Sometimes we think that we spent too much for this "mid-life toy" but then we take it for a quick drive and immediately change our minds.  This car is a true joy.
