Boxster and the Benz are a little Classy For me Just Give me a SKyline Or a AE 86 and i would be in heven :lol:
Point taken, but I'm assuming you're excluding the post-Bangle years, what with the "flame-surfacing" and the "Bangle Butt" and the angry headlights and the Kabuki makeup and generally wierd bits that shout "WE'RE HIGH-TECH!!!1", etc. The difference between the Bangle revolution and the formal 3-boxes before are striking.pdanev said:BlaRo I didnt say that the family resemblance, i.e. that they didnt change much is a bad thing. I was just trying to show Xeon SX that he is not right by saying that from german manufacturers only porsche is the one that doesnt distinguish its models.
About bmw, I dont know, they all look the same for me, and imo they havent changed in the past 10years that much. They introduced suv, ok, but the in the 3-5-7series i can recognize easily all the roots to previous generations. Again, im not saying its a bad thing, i just think that apart from facelifts, and a few minor touches here and there, they did not change radically in the past years.
The SLK comes with a 6-speed manual as an option, as well as a 7-speed auto.bassheadjazzVR6 said:3 pedals > 2 pedals...But I will say that the merc is easier to live with ie, hardtop, autobox..

Hmmmmm, that was my whole basis for my choice of the Boxster, might have the SLK after all. Nothing beats a big, torquey engine is everyday commutes.BlaRo said:The SLK comes with a 6-speed manual as an option, as well as a 7-speed auto.bassheadjazzVR6 said:3 pedals > 2 pedals...But I will say that the merc is easier to live with ie, hardtop, autobox..
Sorry to burst your bubble again, but Car and Driver apparently found a hack into turning off the traction control completely. I believe it involved fooling it into "Dyno Test" mode, pulling up on the shift paddles a few times, wiggling the volume buttons, revving the engine up to exactly 3406.77143 RPMs, popping the trunk, playing "Best of the Doobie Brothers" tape in reverse (maybe that's why JC bought it), then slipping it a roofie and stuffing a chloroform-soaked cocktail napkin into its mouth before dragging it into one's apartment for a night of unrestrained substance abuse. Hell, just get the Boxster!Raven18940 said:Hmmmmm, that was my whole basis for my choice of the Boxster, might have the SLK after all.

EDIT: wait, just remembered the merc has traction control you can't switch off, no thanks.

SL65AMG~V12~604BHP!!!!!!! said:I'm biased when it comes to Mercs so I would have to take the SLK for its looks, practicality and overall grunt. But I do however know I would be very happy with a Boxter and it is a bargain next to the Benz.
Either way, they both very nice cars
ps: Clarksons a fool, he shoulda just spent that little bit more and got the CLS AMG..
