Mercedes Benz SLK

With the retractable hardtop up, the cockpit is tight, quiet and refined, a little too tight for taller drivers. Mercedes-Benz offers distinct features to enhance the top-down experience, such as Airscarf, which blows warm air at the driver’s neck.

Basically maintaining the same profile through its lifespan, the SLK evolved into quite a graceful sports car. Redesigned for 2012, the third-generation model slips between the original blocky design and the overly styled second generation.
