Now I'm simply disgusted by their deisgns and their cost-cutting efforts. The 6-series has a cardboard floor in the trunk for Pete's sake. That's cheap, not weight-saving. The last car I had with a cardboad floor in the trunk was a 1984 Honda Accord, my first car, and last Honda.
What does interest me is the Alfa Spider due 2008. That should be fun. It will be slow version of the ***y SLK. Which is a really weird move for Italy.
An SLK55 with a manual is something that I don't think I could put up with as a daily driver. If I used it for the weekends, I don't think I could change gears fast enough. |
Well, I totally agree with you. In my opinion, I think the SLK55 is a luxury sport car which gives you an agressive sporty exterior, along with a comfort luxury interior for daily drive. If someone is just going for speed, he should go for the subaru STI with manual which is even faster than the SLK55.
