I think is also because the new convertible cars can't deliver the "feeling" that car's like the SLK doWell it is a possibility as they are reviewing there line up B class is being chopped to and R class ?
So are SLK will be more sort after and maybe price hike up to . :grin:
Weight savings are extremely important. If they can reduce CAFE, then funds can be spent elsewhere rather than on "engine/emission" improvements.What are the 'undeniable advantages'
That was the principle reason I didn't go with the Porsche 968, nor any more contemporary cabrios!The folding hardtop makes it the roadster choice for year round riding. No soft top for me!
You are so right less is more a specially with a 2 Seater if you want all the fancy gadgets buy an SL or Cadillac.:wink::wink:They need to go back to the reasoning behind Bruno Sacco's original design brief for the R170
Very true, having had use of a Mark 3 - MX5 in the past, I would have never thought to purchase a MB, till I set eyes on & had funds to purchase a V6 R171... R)What Mercedes are maybe missing, if this forum is anything to go by,
Is that the 600,000 or more SLKs produced are mostly still out there, few are destroyed, most change hands every 3 to 10 years, often as drivers upgrade their toy to a newer SLK, and almost all of the new buyers of these used SLKs are new to M-B brand, or new to AMG, who are then favourably predisposed to consider other products from the brand.
The decision to build the R170 is still paying dividends 25 years after it was taken.
