I will def. be looking at the new SLK in AMG form if they decide to drop the new 6.3 liter in there.
I haven't paid a lot of attention to the SLK 350s, but to me, the SLK 320 looks like it is smaller than the Crossfire. Both cars have to be approximately the same size, but the XFire does look like a larger car. I guess the design causes an optical illusion.
There aren't many cars that get the looks that a XFire will. They are a magnet.
