Now in its third edition, the all new Mercedes-Benz SLK raises the bar when it comes to driving pleasure. The roadster offers driver’s a quick and responsive engine inside a stylish yet comfortable open-top sports car. Mercedes managed to pack all these attributes into a great looking, environmentally conscious vehicle that is built to be driven on a day to day basis. Thus making it one of the top car designs out this year. The 2012 SLK350 goes on-sale in the U.S. in June 2011.

The designers have tailor-made an outfit for the new SLK which emphasises its classic roadster proportions and puts them in the spotlight to thrilling effect. Behind the long bonnet is a compact passenger compartment positioned far back, and a short tail end. The SLK will tempt potential customers with the key attributes that characterise all the classic roadsters from Mercedes-Benz, and that have also made many of them automotive icons.

Bold proportions: a long hood, compact greenhouse with frameless side windows, dramatic roof sweeping back at an angle towards the rear – these are the hallmarks of the CLS-Class. In 2003 the four-door Coupé was born and the Mercedes-Benz CLS immediately established itself as a new style icon. For 2012 the proportions remain the same but the second generation of this design trendsetter has a completely new look both inside and out. The 2012 CLS550 goes on-sale in the U.S. during the summer of 2011.

The new SLK Roadster from Mercedes-Benz sets new standards in safety. The safety experts at Mercedes-Benz have long adopted the motto, the best or nothing, coined by Gottlieb Daimler. Mercedes is not content with just hitting safety ratings, they work to attain safety levels that not only meet but far exceed standars set by the world’s legislators. The most important measure of their work is not the laboratory or crash test facility, but actual, real-life accidents. They call the results of their work Real Life Safety, a concept which is based on research into thousands of accidents. Using this irrefutable evidence, the Mercedes-Benz engineers have developed or initiated most of the assistance systems which today effectively support drivers and have been adopted by many of the company’s competitors.
