He seems to change his mind a lot, in an earlier artical in the Top Gear Magazine, he said he may buy the M5!

I guess after his glowing review of the 55 back to back with the Boxster, it was inevitable that he would buy one.....

Thanks for the article! He's never very objective, but you can't beat Top Gear for entertainment value!

I wonder if he could fit into the SLK. It seems a tad too small for him.

To be honest I'm suprised that he's getting a small car, A damn SLK. I know it's a good car but still he is a big dog. Going from a Ford GT to an SLK55 isn't exactly the path I expected him to take. Isn't the car kind of small for him? He will look like Fred Flintstone sitting inside a Gocart.

Just for the record. A Ford GT is much smaller than SLK inside.

he'll fit, it won't be as comfortable as his sl 55, but i think he'll manage. i'm 6'1, 208lbs and i fit fine in my gf's slk 350. getting in and out (especially in tight parking spaces) can be a hassle at times though.

Jeremy Clarkson is an absolute TOOL. I can't stand him.

True, but like Jono said the son of a btch is entertaining.

SLK55 is a nice car but after the Ford GT i would expect him to buy a Ferrari or something. SLK doesn't have the supercar status no matter how fast it is.
