This didn't slow sales, though, upon introduction of the Lincoln Navigator for the 1998 model year waiting lines for the Navigtor formed. Competitors from Chevrolet and GMC quickly followed. Much like the Cadillac Escalade, the Navigator has found a spot with c ...

The R170-platform the SLK 230 Kompressor was introduced in 1997 for model year 1998 to compete with the Porsche Boxster and BMW Z3. Setting it apart was its folding hardtop, but this added weight, denting the performance of the 185 hp 2.3 L supercharged I4 engine and automatic transmission. The SLK was on Car and Driver's Ten Best list for 1997. A 5-speed manual transmission was added for 1999, but it was the introduction of a 215 hp 3.2 L V6 and 6-speed manual transmission in the 2001 SLK 320See also:

A new model came in 1998 (1999 in the US), launching the (EF) series. The styling was slightly less aggressive, and modelled more on a Hyundai show car earlier that year. This redesign kept the German influences, but bore an unintentional resemblance to the Ford Taurus as well. Engines were a 1.8 L 134 PS, 2.0 L 149 PS, 2.4 L 149 hp (111 kW) I4 and an impressive 2.5 L 170 hp (127 kW) V6.

1998 brought the fifth-generation 626, now on the GF platform, again built by AutoAlliance International in Flat Rock, Michigan. Its MX-6 and Ford Probe derivations were gone. From 1997 through 1999 the 626 was given an engine overhaul to give it better pedal feel. However, as most car reviews will attest, it was a bland vehicle with softer handling and fewer features than the 1993–1997 version. The final Mazda 626 rolled off the Flat Rock, Michigan ...
