Once again, MT doesnt provide a clear winner.  If it was me, I would take the Boxster...midengine balance and incredible feel, and its much livelier than the SLK.  Both are great cars though.

I would take the SLk, but that's not to say I wouldn't be happy with the boxster.  :praise:

I'd probably take the Boxster S, simply for the manual, but the numbers the SLK55 put up were very impressive.  However, I'd be more interested to see an SLK350 6 speed up against a standard Boxster.

Other than straight line speed the Boxster seemed to pwn the SLK.

Plus it looks better.  :praise:
