What are you lot on about , its a relativly cheap , very reliable convertible that when it first came out was totally unique
Ehh? how do you come up with that £32k, which part is totally unique? To me it looks very similar to other 2 seater sports tourers. As for performance the M100 Elan was out in 1990 and was cheaper too.

When it first came out, the roof system was totally unique. Of course, since then other manufacturers jumped on the bandwagon and it is now available in various guises from the rather crappy 206CC to the Lexus SC430.
I think it's quite a nice car. I also think Thom should go on an anger management course, or seek help. Were you run over by a Mercedes or something when you were a small child ?

I seem to remember that Alvis cars had a folding steel roof.... correct me if I'm wrong, but just as Benz DID NOT INVENT the car he did not invent the steel roof...
A Samuel(?) Cox patented and DROVE the first combustion engined car in 1826 up Shooters Hill in London and thats 56 years before Benz was born. Benz only did a petrol combustion engine! And when one reads Benz's patent its an absolute copy word for word of Cox's patent except that he mentioned petrol. BY the way for the doubters,,,, see Guinness Book of Records!

So what? Are you the kind of guy who buys a car for its roof?

About mercs
1)Every single time I had met/known people who drive mercs they have proved to be complete a
es 2)IMO mercs are the exact opposite of what a car "should" be: heavy, ugly, big, have neither soul nor class. They are the absolute sucker's mobile.
PS: my experience is based on French drivers' behaviours; maybe French merc drivers' behaviours = English BMW drivers' behaviours...

Thom you are so stupid , i was making a comment that the SLK was unique , i could label all Frenchmen morons based on my limited contact with them , but i do not because i give the rest of your nation the benifit of the doubt , as i have said before you guy generally are very narrow minded re- SLK - Boxter or aything that is not a TVR ,

Maybe , but i seem to remmember Alvis stoped making cars some time ago , i did not say Merc invented the folding roof i said the SLK roof was unique when it first came out
Marki, unique means that there is/was no other, so the Merc folding roof cannot be unique..... get my drift. If in doubt use the Oxford English Dictionary!

Well, err...yes, absolutely
If like me you were seeing dull SLKs and Boxsters driven by numpties every single day you would certainly think differently
By the way when do you get the Aero 8?
but its not just one make of car that is driven by numties or idiots , so lets not generalise twats come in many forms and can often be in disguiseGassing Station | Motoring News | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
