Mercedes-Benz SLK 
Mercedes-Benz refreshes their models with a new generation every seven years, and this seems to be true for the SLK Roadster – or almost. For 2012, the third incarnation of the seductive SLK features a new shape while staying true to its retractable hard-top. The new front end has been likened to the SLS AMG. This year, the SLK family includes the SLK250, SLK350 and SLK55 AMG.
