Fifth Gear: Mercedes-Benz SLK55 vs SL55

This is an interesting comparison test by the Fifth Gear folks. Two Mercedes cars, only separated by the K, are driven around the circuit to see how each performs under extreme driving. I personally can’t stand the host and her voice, but the comments aggravate me the most. What fifth gear needs to do is stop trying to be like Top Gear. That would eliminate a lot of these “trying-to-be-funny” comments from the hosts.

Father names child – SLK

Girls named Mercedes are very rare these days, although, you may still find some in Latin America. A guy from Romania named Dumitru Caldara, has given a twist to the good-old Mercedes name.

While we did have our fair share of weird names in the Hollywood world (Nicolas Cage naming his son Kal-el and Gwyneth Paltrow naming her daughter Apple), this one definitely… Continue Reading »

Top Gear: Range Rover 580S vs. Mercedes SLK 320

Who else would put an SUV against a roadster in a drag-race but Top Gear. This one of those comparison tests that really don’t make sense, but achieve a great amount of laughter and excitement. Top Gear put a Range Rover, tuned by Overfinch, that has a 380 hp engine from BMW and costs 105,000 British pounds, against an old Mercedes SLK 320 V6 in an unusual drag-race. I do have to say that the Range Rover, especially this one tuned by Overfinch, is a great SUV that looks and drives great.

Fifth Gear reviews the SLK 350

This review is a bit dated, but it never hurts to hear what some of the most respectable reviewers have to say about the SLK and Mercedes manufactured products in general. He definitely seems to like the SLK, and why honestly wouldn’t you. The ‘Air-Scarf’ is a very cool idea that most people will like.
