hmm, I noticed the side mirror turning signal only lights up at the tip of the mirror, and not the full length of the lense. Is this right

?

I noticed the same. Perhaps it is less distracting to the cars in front (as it is meant for the vehicles to the side)?

I am searching for videos from many countries so that it meets the needs of the new SLK owners and to enjoy until their new car arrives.

This guy has a lot to learn from J Clarkson!!
Anyway, for those who don't speak the lingo, the main points he made were the slow steering and gearbox on both the 55 and 350. The presenter was very pleased with the 200 which he described as "well balanced". The 280 (300) was not included in the review.

P, I guess it's a little disheartning to hear about the slow gearbox and steering. Thanks for the translation though and I agree I'll wait for the Clarkson review...

Mohammed, Thanks for keeping your eyes open for new reviews. As a soon to be member of the MB world and the MB wait list, I'm devouring everything I can get my hands on... Thanks again.

Thank you guys, helping you members is a pleasure for me not a problem at all.

Ktown, the MB experience is something that many lookforward to personally I've never faced just but good things with MB.
