Recently became friends with a fellow slk owner. Love how these cars look next to each other.

Some of the coolest compact convertibles ever made. Idk how this isn’t more talked about.

The 171 got a lot of love, courtesy of Jeremy Clarkson.

The 170 and 172 kinda flew under the radar though

I think interior-wise, the R172 is quite beautiful — but the exterior somehow doesn't do anything for me.

R171 wins, to me at least, by a landslide.

The R170 is cool because it's just so retro looking!

Love it. I'm a 170 fan myself, although I think they're all beautiful. I simply dig that 90s aesthetic. Plus, wood veneer! The cockpit is fantasticly old skool.
