Ikarus: i can definitely see your point there with certain aspects of the new models. Looking at other brands such as Audi and BMW (i drive the latter), i often think, what were the designers smoking with model x or model y.
Without sounding vein over one item, I really do like the new side mirrors amongst other things (with v shaped indicators) and feel they're a lot nicer than the pre- SLK and MUCH better than the current C-Class side monsters.
In terms of the SLK i do feel that the new interior feels better and is more up to date and more flowing ands is a good combination of new items combined with the pre-facelifted design. (Bearing in mind i havent owned a pre-facelift and as wimbledon_slk mentioned its all down to personal taste really...
