2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class Review

Unmistakable style and performance are the calling cards for the 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class, a 2-door sports car with a retractable hardtop roof. Built from the ground up with one goal in mind, the SLK-Class leaves its driver breathless and wanting more. Each of the three trim levels are one more magnificent than the next; the SLK280 with a 3.0L 24-valve V-6 engine; the SLK350 with a 3.5L 24-valve V-6 engine; the SLK55 AMG with a 5.5L SOHC 24-valve V-8 engine.

The 280SLK offers sleek styling and impeccable road manners, with desirable features including a 9 speaker AM/FM stereo with CD. The speed-sensitive volume control adds drama to the starts and stops of the daily commute. Safety features complete the package with anti-lock disc brakes and seat-mounted side-impact airbags with head protection.

Driving that becomes a union of man and machine is made possible in the SLK350 with its tiller-mounted stereo and sensor display controls. From fuel consumption to maintenance interval reminders, the instrumentation on the new SLK-Class keeps you in touch with all of its vital signs. Reaching out into the night with uncanny acuity are the twin halogen projector beams that nearly see around corners.

With an M.S.R.P. of $62,950, the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG with its Sirius Satellite Radio capability and performance-enhanced suspension brings you all anyone could ask for in a premium luxury sports car. Decked out in Storm Red Metallic paint, the optional chrome exterior door handles and front and rear mud guards make your SLK55 AMG a personal statement of your unique style. To enhance the racetrack performance capability of your Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG, consider the AMG Performance Package with 19-inch alloy wheels, precision tuned suspension, and ergonomic steering wheel.

Your Mercedes-Benz dealer would love to assist you by helping you stamp your individual personality into your SLK-Class with an Audio 30 APS navigation system or a set of accessory side skirts or alloy wheels. Plan to have adventures all over the place with your 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class luxury sports car.
