I will try to be around a lot, but who knows. The Mercedes forums are similar, but a different crowd, I will have to try to catch up on them now. Feel free to PM me.
I got a 2005 SLK350 auto 7sp in Caspian Blue with 2 tone beige interior.
It has every option except the "AMG Sports Package"
It has:
"Trim Package" (wood trim)
"Heating Package" (seats, and airscarf!)
"Lighting Package" (BiXenon & Headlight washers)
"Comfort Package" (Memory Seats both sides & power memory column & mirrors (with parking tilt))
"Premium Package" (Homelink, Rain sense wipers!, auto climate control, IR Roof control from outside, auto dim inter & exterior mirrors...)
"Entertainment Package w/DVD Navigation" (COMAND with Nav radio screen, CD Changer in glovebox, Harmon Kardon Sound System)
"Automatic 7 speed Transmission"


I went with a 2005 instead of the Face-Lift 2009 for a couple reasons. I really wanted the high power 2009+ (300ish), but the color, features, price, condition, and miles (38,000) made this the one I wanted. And after driving it a bit, the 268hp SLK350 is very quick, noticeable more than my Crossfire. From a couple tests, it seems slightly quicker then the 2006 Charger R/T I had. The top is amazing as well. The interior is similar, but many more toys, and actually much more seating room. I would guess 3" extra for combined head and leg room, mainly head which means you can sit more upright and get more leg room. Plus my wife actually put the 2nd key in her purse. She never even touched the key for the Crossfire, mainly because of the 6p manual.
It is probably %95 all extra features, I do miss the "Man Pedal" a bit, not much, and I REALLY miss the active spoiler! I can't see how the SRT6 guys live without it ;-)
