...I do wish that DaimlerChrysler had not removed the silver finish from the side strakes, door handles, and windshield surround on the base coupe/roadster. Then again, black is a "pure contrast" color, and reflections on the car easily bring out these details. Again, I can't complain too much since Chrysler didn't take out the fundamentals: 6-speed, 3.2L V6, great wheel and tire package, ESP, ABS, etc. They could have made the car a lot more "base" in the performance department by borrowing from the bottom feeder SLK even more. I don't know about you, but a 2.3L "Kompressor" (supercharged I4) just would not cut it in this car.
