Trumbull Mercedes dealer over the moon for new SLK Class glass roof

Skylights, moon roofs – we love them all. So what’s special about the Mercedes-Benz SLK Class and its glass roof? Well, it just happened to be a "Magic Sky Control". It switches from light to dark with just the push of a button.



Wilton Mercedes C-Class buyers will want to have a look at this new SLK and see what all the magic entails. With two modes, the Sky Control offers a light mode where the roof is transparent and allows passengers to get a marvelous view of the passing scenery. In dark mode, the roof provides shade and blocks heat from the sun.



Those opting for the standard version of the SLK model will get a roof painted to match the vehicle and another option is a panorama roof with dark-tinted glass. But the Magic Sky Control is obviously the most fun and the most versatile.



So what else can Trumbull Mercedes customers expect from the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK? Well, there is the choice of a four-cylinder or six-cylinder engine. The V6 will provide 302 horsepower and reaches from zero to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds. The four-cylinder, with 201 horsepower take 6.5 second to reach 60 mph but does offer better fuel economy – 27 mpg over the 23 mpg the V6 will get.



Mercedes-Benz fans know the quality to be found in the SLK models. Aside from the fun features like the magic roof, buyers will get the latest safety and technology features and all those years of Mercedes tradition. Your Wilton Mercedes C-Class dealer can fill you in on all the features and options this amazing line of cars offers.



Although we don’t have a price yet, auto industry analysts expect to see the 2012 SLK stay in the range of the 2011 SLK350 – about $54,175. It will be available this summer in the United States just in time for viewing gorgeous summer sunsets and autumn foliage through that magic roof.



If you think about it, this ‘magic roof’ is really a very exciting addition. It’s actually a useful feature. Not something you have to open and close and worry about forgetting in a downpour. Not something that will blind you if you don’t have the shade angled just right. Just an enjoyable way to bring the outside in when you want it.



For Trumbull Mercedes buyers, the new SLK will offer the opportunity to have something the neighbors don’t and to enjoy a top-down feeling without the wind-blown consequences. This really is a perfect alternative to the convertible for those who prefer to keep their coifs intact and hear the music from their iPod rather than from the wind.



This is one Mercedes-Benz model you need to see to believe.
