The Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class 2009 was the first vehicle to truly popularize the use of a power-retractable convertible top made out of steel panels rather than the more traditional fabric soft top.the SLK could convert from a closed coupe to an open convertible without leaving the driver seat.Though suffering from uninspiring handling and questionable sporting credentials for hard-core driving enthusiasts, the original SLK230 and SLK320 were popular with consumers. Improvements over the years kept the first generation competitive, but after seven years on the market the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class was ready for a redesign.SLK -- which means Sportlich (sporty), Leicht (light) and Kurz (short) -- is positioned below the considerably more expensive SL roadster. The SLK was actually Mercedes' first hardtop convertible roadster, predating the SL hardtop. The SLK competes with the BMW Z4, Audi TT, Infiniti G37, and Lexus SC 430. The only non-AMG SLK model offered in North America is the SLK 350, which is powered by a 305 horsepower 3.5L V6.Finally this car is a very luxury car.
