Hecubus ◊ 2006-09-01 19:46	I've never seen any record of the 200 being sold in North America (I was just looking at a brochure for the 2000 model, and all that had was the 230).
G-MANN ◊ 2006-09-01 19:53	On wikipedia it says that all the SLK were built in Bremen, Germany, the pre-facelift SLK200 models were exported only to Portugal, Italy and Greece and that the post-facelift SLK200 Kompressor model definately wasn't exported to North America. However it doesn't say anything about the pre-facelift SLK200 Kompressor not being exported to America (I'm really getting anal here). I guess the 2 litre engine is too puny for America.
appassionato ◊ 2006-09-01 19:58	I think the US version was 230. Also in background a Mercedes 190.
