I have to be honest with you.
The 2009 Mercedes SLK is, without a doubt, the most macho Mercedes yet. The SLK has always been full of machismo, to be sure. It’s the Mercedes 2-seater than men want to be seen driving, and that they want to drive.
The new version is even more macho than its predecessors. The new looks makes you think immediately of the McLaren Mercedes Formula One race car, mainly to the new center-bulge hood. This takes macho to a whole new level. The aggressive looking front fascia features split lower grille openings. The rear fascia looks like a diffuser.
The look isn’t the only thing that’s sportier on the new model, however. There’s plenty of features, from the three-spoke steering wheel to the direct-steer system that add to the macho mix. The leather seats and Bluetooth connectivity scream quality and modernity, too.
If you like Mercedes vehicles and you want to get the sportiest one out there, get the 2009 SLK. And, while it screams “macho,” there’s no reason women sports-car enthusiasts won’t love this one, as well.
