Its that time of year when they test models that hasn't been released yet but I dnt know if this is a new model merc but it wasn't covered up so I'm guessing its not new but it did have on the "goverment approved high speed bla bla" sticker on.
Sorry for the quality. Pic was zoomed when I took it with the BB

That's the problem I have with new cars nowadays .... They all look the same

Sure, put the 2 next to each other and you can tell the difference, but at first glance ...

MB SLS Cabriolet

The pic that he showed is actually the SLS, just take a look at the headlights itself. SLK headlights are different

Definitely looks more like an SLS than a SLK. Check the headlights and the big gills on the side with the 2 lines. And it looks like AMG mags, maybe a new SLK AMG, best of both worlds lol

I see what you getting at and know it's weird, but if you look at the difference in the headlights, the sls has headlights that is lengthy from top to bottom and narrow from side to side, whereas the SLK is lengthy from side to side and narrow from top to bottom of the headlight. If you get what i'm saying.

Also if you look from the roof down to the boot, the SLS has almost a sleek design whereas the SLK has a dip and then straightens out to the boot.
