The Chrysler influence on M-B cars up to now is ZERO. Sorry, but there is nothing on either the SLK or the E-class that was influenced by Chrysler. The SLK design was started in 1994 and the W210 E-Class before that. The Chrysler merger didn't happen until 1999 and it won't have any major influence on M-B cars until designs that started after the merger start shipping. That means that even the W209 CLK, the W211 E-class, and the R230 SL will not see any significant Chrysler influence.
