At that price about 100 is all they could sell. I like everything about this car except the price. A 137K SLK makes it more expensive than some very serious cars that can smoke it in speed and handling. Tough sell to all but the most devoted AMG buyers.

I'm waiting for the official word though about the U.S. market. My guess is that with a production run so small, they won't bother (or spend the $$$) to certify it for U.S. sale.
