New Car Test Drive

The Mercedes-Benz SLK has undergone a major makeover for the 2001 model year. Mercedes has redesigned the exterior, completely redesigned the interior, and, for the first time, is offering a wider choice of engines and transmissions. New for 2001 is the SLK 320, which comes with a powerful V6 engine.

All this comes at attractive prices when compared to its chief competitors in the marketplace: the Porsche Boxster, the new Audi TT roadster, the BMW Z3 2.8 and the Honda S2000. This may help Mercedes to maintain the SLK's position as the best-selling roadster in its class, worldwide.

The 2001 SLK 230 Kompressor retails for $38,900, down from $41,000 in 2000. The 2001 SLK 320 retails for $43,900. Both offer impressive lists of standard equipment.
