Pros
  • Last opportunity to get naturally-aspirated V8 from Mercedes (M152)
  • SLK 350 got ride of the engine defect of its predecessor
  • Multi-link suspensions all around
  • Last chance to get the M113-powered SLK 55 AMG
  • Updated electronics
  • Perhaps improved engine reliability
Cons
  • Generic styling
  • Stuck with MacPherson struts in the front
  • Low cargo capacity
