Well my wife and I went to the Houston Auto Show today, looking at all the new cars. It was a mixed bag with some hybrids, E 85% cars and a few new models. We are retired so went during the middle of the day. The place was almost empty, kinda sad.

I took some pics of the 2009 SLK-350 black in color fully loaded. I will try to load pics later but here is the factory web link http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/#/vehi...SLK350&yr=2009

My wife was all excited setting in the beautiful car (NOT near as pretty lines external like the xFire, but the insides looked really nice updated and cool nav GPS) Of course $50,000 as equipped.
Our xFires are still way better looking outside, but oh wouldn't it have been nice to see a new updated 2009, 2010 xFire, I bet it would have been really cool.
No complaints here but seeing the new SLK made me dream, but not about the whopping big price. We xFires owners are big winners and have something to be proud of.
