Guys, what happened to the Kompressor? A few years ago it was one of the
most impressive cars on the road. Now it looks like any other small
vehicle. What is Mercedes doing with this line? Am I missing something
here?

I never heard the Kompressor called a "line". It just means the
engine in that particular car is supercharged. I think the first model
out badged "Kompressor" was the early SLK's, SLK230 i think? Calling a
Kompressor a line of cars would be equal to calling their turbos a
line of cars.
