Yeah roadsters like the Z4 and SLK are pretty small if you are a big dude. I once sat in a Audi TT and it felt like sitting inside a casket.

I'm six feet tall and I fit in the SLK with headroom to spare, and when the roof is down, my head is nowhere near the top of the windscreen!

I'd take the SL55 if I wanted a good crusing/long distance car with all the gadgets, but since I'd prefer to drive hard, I'll take the SLK thank you very much

Well, I have to go for the SL55.

The SLK55 is a mean looking car, but it still looks too toy-ish and cute. It's like a chihuahua with an attitude, so not exactly to my liking.

On to the SL55. Besides the CL55/65, this has to be my favourite Benz. The car is just gorgeous when you see it cruise by, and the interior is one of the best in the business!

Just like he said. SLK for me too.

I'm talking about SLK 55 against the SL65!

I would choose the SL over the SLK with the different engine, because there is such a huge gap in performance, but the SLK 55 isn't much slower than the SL 55, and half the price! Also, it looks as good and is a newer car!

Post #3!!

I picked SL. However, I find the SLK to be a very attractive, aggressive car that has some cute elements to it. It is probably a better track car/driver's car with the 6-Speed and the lighter weight.

Overall I think the SL looks better to me, and suits my style of driving, I'm not going to the track, I drive around the city and highways with gentle turns and straight aways, razor-sharp handling are not a requirement for a car imo, more power and comfort are a higher priority in my realistic driving scenarios.

With that the SL excels, top up or top down its one of my favorite MB's ever. Looks, power, luxury and style. I can't wait for the new 6.2L NA AMG engine!!

SLK55 is half the price of SL55? I didn't knew that! So the question in the poll should be "2 SLK55 AMG or 1 SL55?".

The SLK is like a car you drive out 3AM at night to drink coffee at Starbucks.

The SL is the car you drive all night to get good coffee.
