Internet, it"s time to say farewell to Mercedes" littlest roadster. The SLC - which until 2016 was called the SLK - has been around since 1996. You"ll remember it for basically starting the whole folding hard-top thing, which peaked in the mid-Noughties when Ford, Peugeot, Vauxhall, Renault, Nissan, Volvo and others decided to get in on the action. That none of these manufacturers still build a folding hard-top ought to give you some idea of how it worked out for them It"s always worked for Mercedes, however. Though its C-, S- and E-Class cabriolets all use fabric roofs, the SLC/K has stuck with the folding hard-top through each of its three generations. And now could be your last chance to buy one, because later this year the third-gen SLC will go out of production. And supposedly no replacement is due.
