Saw the SLK200 on display here in HK in a Benz dealership, I'll try to take a pic next time I pass by it.. it looks AMAZING!

I was given a tour of the car and the new roof (Sl500 style!)

and yes it was a SLK200, not 350.. and according to the salesman it is priced less than the old SLK230!

but yeh i'll try to post some pic..

Nice car, absolutely amazing

Yea, europe and asian markets gets the SLK 200 base cars. They even have steelies! In north america, the R171 will only be available in 2 models... SLK 350 and SLK 55 AMG.

I think the New SLK 200 is around $400,000 HK dollar ... which is around ... do do do do ... $70K plus area .... he he .. can't buy the SLK 55 ..but the SLK350 !

( Stupid 100% tax on Luxury cars ! and Still 60%-80% taxes on even Japanese car over there ! )

That is why ... most the cars in HK ( Luxury cars ) are way more money then here ... I am not 100% sure .. but asian cars are like 40-60% tax, Luxury sport cars are like 80-120% ..

That is why, a nicer and more options Civic in HK, cost even less then here ! and MADE in Japan, a BMW 320i is way more expensive then a IS300 over HK, ( that is why all kids drive them !) and a SL55 will cost around $370K Cad ! and a GT-2 is around $550K !

:D he he .. sorry for off - topic ...

Your 330Ci M cost around $100,000 in HK ! the reason why it is not near doubling the price, because "options" on a car is not taxed 100%, and that make the "base" price for Luxury cars over asian market way more expensive then here, however, prices for some options are almost the same.

That is why, a Corolla in HK ( differ car ! way prettier ! ) with sunroof, HID, leather, PDC, folding mirrors, CD, MP3, wood trim, Auto ..and tons more options .... is still around $25,000 Cad ! which is even much less then here ! an IS 300 over there is around $50k ! full loaded ! same price here !

:D
