 Mercedes SLK III
The current Mercedes-Benz SLK has been on the market since 2004 and recently underwent a mid-cycle facelift to keep it fresh until the arrival of the next-generation model sometime early next decade. The first two generations have been extremely successful for Mercedes, selling more than half a million examples since the launch of the compact roadster back in 1997.
There are few solid details about the third-generation model but these renderings give us an early look as to what the new version could look like. As expected, the next SLK will pick up the angular styling Mercedes has adopted for most of its vehicles of late but one key change is the elimination of the F1-inspired nose on the current car.
Other features will include an optional glass panoramic sunroof integrated into the folding hard-top, as well as ribbed bonnet similar to the design used on the new SL range.
The SLK’s closest rival, BMW’s Z4, is due for an update next year and is expected to grow in both size and price, and is also tipped to adopt a new folding hard-top roof as well. The new SLK, therefore, will have its work cut out for it when it arrives several years later but its proportions and price are expected to remain similar to the current model.

Ben je zeker dat je niet het vorige model voorhebt?  Ik vind de huidige er totaal niet gedateerd en iel uitzien.

Ja dat vind ik. Vooral de kale en gladde zijkant zorgt daar voor. Kontje is ook niet erg dik en wel best rond

Dat denk ik ook. Dit is eerder een opvolger voor de SLR

Een fijne neus die doet terugdenken aan leuke retro cabrio's.  Spijtig dat Mercedes niet opteert voor een stoffen kap. Die slanke neus krijgt nu waarschijnlijk een opgeblazen koffertje (zoals de huidige SLK).

I'm not posting directly because Global Motors prohibited the posting of their images.

Ik vind dat die ster in de gril ook precies iedere keer groter wordt, wat een onding. Ze hebben al een embleem op de motorkap zelf, dat zou voor mij alleszins al volstaan.

Die laatste foto lijkt het net een Peugeot 207CC
Ik hoop dat hij snel komt want de huidige is al aan het einde van zijn latijn. Ik hoop dat dit ding lekker stoer word.
