TNT:

This has been discussed before in other threads. You may want to take a look.

What is boils down to is that this is a reworked M/B SLK, and those items were not on that vehicle. To get it out on the market in less than two years meant making as few changes to the original design as possible.

Everyone has their own ideas of the "perfect" options that should have been included. I know I do. But if D/C included or made available every option that has been listed on this forum over the last ten months, this car would end up costing $60K+, and that would have defeated the original purpose of the car - to get a high quality, super sexy, two seater sports car out the door under $40K!

Now if they could just tear out the center console and make it an all electronic, touch screen, voice activated control center....... :-)

And one final thought, TNT: Ignore the posts that really **** you off....... Flame wars serve no purpose.

Just my humble opinion. Forget that - I am not humble at all!!!!! :-)
