SLK

You may remember the headlines when a video of the new Mercedes SLK leaked onto the internet last month, well now we have the official unveiling of Mercedes' 3rd generation SLK which will be launched in the UK in June, 2011.

The sense we gain from Mercedes' press brief is that they've tried to secure the class-lead in every aspect of this compact roadster segment, now that BMW's Z4 has emulated the SLK's folding-hardtop format the Stuttgart car maker is intent on establishing some clear advantages which will differentiate the SLK in the eyes of the customer.
