Mercedes SLK Hard-top Convertible Review
Historically, Mercedes-Benz had always offered a less costly drop-top sports car in its line-up, even though the beautiful Pagoda-roof SL was the last truly compact and, depending on your status, affordable sports car from the German manufacturer during the late-1960s/early-1970s. A succession of grander, plumper, more luxurious and costlier SL models had distanced Merc from its core buyers and a new niche was developing during the early-1990s into which the company was keen to slot a brand new model. The "K" designation was appropriate, as it had been applied to "Kompressor", or supercharged Mercs of years past and the new SLK would utilise a series of four-cylinder C-Class saloon engines, with their performance boosted by the use of force-feeding. The SLK was born in 1996 and became an overnight success for the Stuttgart firm, mainly due to its all-weather, folding metal roof that stowed (some observers would say, inconveniently) beneath the boot-lid.
