Just talked to my friend from Daimler Chrysler,
First of all, it seems I will go and pick up the S600 on saturday, it arrived in France this morning
Secondly, we had a quick chat about MB in general,
he admitted funnilly that MB just don't know how to make manual gearboxes.
There will only be 500 SLR, no more.
The new SLK is coming in 12 to 15 months, he has seen some of the design, it is apparently stunning!
The rear of the SL combined with a front that looks a bit like the SLR, brilliant
Fanch.
