yea but a modded car versus stock isn't really an equal comparison.

You're saying sorry for the SLK55? The car has been pulling 0-60 times of 4.5sec all day long (C&D got 4.3 out of it). What are you saying sorry for? The car's base $ is $61k, add in desirable options and you're at almost $67k (add a designo package and you're at almost $70k with any options). MB only imports 1k of them a year, making it more exclusive than the SL55.
Very stupid line of thinking.

NO! I'm saying sorry because Ronnie owns a C32 and he's a member of this board.
I don't care how exclusive MBZ made them I’m talking about the fact that 90% of Porsche 911T owners hate the Boxter, It's a way for the Co. to make more money (nothing wrong with that) but in my opinion it's just a way for more people to own a Porsche, Lamborghini, BMW. That’s the whole premise behind "affordable luxury" it’s a way for the manufacturers to reach another part of the market (a less affluent part of the market).
I'll put it in terms of something that u might be able to relate to:
Take the car audio manufacturer JL Audio. Arguably some of the best subs on the market today in regards to their W-3 and W-6. But what about the W-0? Not very good subs at all but still people buy them. Why? For the 119.00 that the customer just spent on a W-0 they could have bought something better by a different name. (Alumapro, Memphis, even Alpine) but a lot of people don't care, they just want to open the trunk and see that JL logo.
Porsche knows that there are people who would like to own a Porsche but can't afford a $120,000 car. Lamborghini knows that there are people who want a Lambo but can’t rationalize spending almost $300,000 on an automobile. It's good marketing nothing more.
A MBZ for less than 30K is just a Chrysler, a Porsche for less then 70K is a fast very fast beetle. Food for thought: buy yourself a SLK55 and tell me how it feels to own a 70+K Chrysler Crossfire.

So a new 2005 Boxster S is basically a Beetle in your opinion?
Let's just say, I don't feel bad for anyone that takes car advice for you.
You must have slept through 101.
I should ban you just for being stupid.

DAMN!! you guys are trippin!!!!
i kinda agree with what boku is saying...i dont wanna drive a low model like slk or boxter even if it is from a high end manufacture.....for some reason i just dont feel the SLK, prolly cus its earlier generations are straight up chick cars, and i dont like hte boxter cus it seems like a porsche on a budget...plus the exhaust looks like a freaking butthole.....space the god damn exhausts like the 911 and then i might buy it

Not meaning to jump on you but there are many people who strictly give an opinion with no real knowledge of what they're talking about.

Now the SLK32/SLK350/SLK55 are different stories though.

I know you probably mean 350Z.... and I would have to say... not comparable.

I do agree that the new SLK is soooo much better then the old; but there are a lot of other cars that i would consider first.
