2002 Mercedes-Benz SLK Road Test
Roadster or coupe? You have 25 seconds to decide. Why? Because 25 seconds is all it takes for the SLK's electrohydraulic top to open for sunshine, or close, sealing out inclement weather. While retractable hardtops are nothing new, with Peugeot having been first to market in the late 1930s and Ford's 1957 - 1959 Skyline being popular among collectors, Mercedes-Benz's modern-day execution is something to be admired.
