Default Mercedes SLC (SLK) is no more...

The SLC -- aka the SLK in every year prior to this one -- is dead.

Not sure what kind of impact it will have on used SLK AMG prices, if any. Sadly we're seeing similar patterns at Nissan; 370Z is on its 10th year using the same design, and we're not even thinking about touching it until 2020. Rumor has it, we're going to simply kill it off.

Anyways, happy Friday!

At the risk of repetition or worse, plagiarism ,,,; That actually looks a lot like a dog taking a dump.

I'm shocked there hasn't been more discussion about this issue at hand... which is... the lineage of cars which ultimately produced ours, has suffered the same fate as ours. I just recall many of the high-brow Mercedes owners drawing comparisons to the SLK being superior because it didn't die like the Crossfire... except it now has.
