Now that is interesting. I don't think MB is sports oriented. While this thing packs 375hp, the weight distribution and gear box probably would cut your envy to drive fast in the corners. And i don't think people buy this car to drive it fast. I race other cars on twisties road...BMW, subarus, AUDIs, (and other Porsches !!!) but I can't recall one single MB. This new SLK looks really good, but it's not a GO KART...Sure, on the autobahn the MB would be difficult to pass...but hey, its top speed is limited, the Boxster' is not and at 260kph, you have 10kph to play with :-)
