No sh*t! No bring out the mother of all convertibles, the SL. I'm very excited about that car since it's going to pave the way for the next generation luxury coupes.

Yup! and it should be pimping out an all new aluminum space frame so it should be quite a bit lighter then the current model. So not only comfort this time around but driving dynamics as well for all those who care.
As for the R172... I'm a little worried right now, it doesn't look low enough and the front looks huge.

It already looks like a female car....even with the camo on
However, I'll reserve my judgement since it's far too early to say anything yet.

btw, this thread is in the wrong place. The SLK is not a new Mercedes. Mods please move it to the SLK section....

Looks very small!
Reminds me a lot the R170, which is imo a very good thing as I loved it but never liked the 171 .

Re: Mercedes-Benz SLK R172 (spyshots and info)

It looks they are using the body panels from the R171 for camo..lol. Mercedes sure has a lot going on, hope profits don't get hit too hard to delay all these cars.
