When people see your car, they think "another retired country club guy having his mid-life crisis",
when they see the Crossfire, they think "what the heck is THAT ! "
I agree on most of that. The Crossfire driving position is unique, and the look, especially from the back is one of the best. The SLK is a little more mainstream in both, but the front is better looking, and the back is boring. The roof is excellent. I am probably one of an extremely rare group of guys with a SLK and a 1967 El Camino (also very dark blue). The El Camino will be getting much more attention now, the only thing I can think of for the SLK is a modern audio/nav system someday. I think the 17" wheels and tires are a much more practical fit even if not as bold as the 18&19s on the Crossfire.
