To upgrade, or not to upgrade? That is the question. When a new model of the car you own is released, it's only natural to look at what has changed to see if the update is worth the time, effort, and most importantly, cost...
Fresh name, new designation, the debut of a twin-turbo V6 heartbeat – is the Mercedes-AMG SLC43 the finest small roadster of the long 'SLK' lineage yet?
Australian pricing and specifications have been revealed for the 2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC range, which replaces the SLK in the brand’s line-up. The SLC - an upgraded and facelifted version of the SLK it replaces - is available in four variants: the SLC180, SLC200, SLC300 and AMG SLC43...
Along with the streamlined new naming conventions that fans are still coming to terms with, there's been a much more sensible and obvious platform-sharing arrangement of late within Mercedes-Benz. With more models moving onto a shared architecture, it is logical to consider that the next generation of Mercedes' renamed SLC range (previously SLK) might be underpinned by a front-wheel-drive platform in the future...
Over two decades, the Mercedes-Benz SLK has built a small, solid fan-base in Australia, and now it is up to the newly refreshed and renamed 2016 Mercedes-Benz SLC Roadster to carry on that tradition. Rename aside, the facelifted SLC is an SLK - but not quite as we know it. The facelift is only part of the story though, with the much-loved SLK55 AMG coming to an end, replaced by the AMG SLC43...
The SLK moniker might be gone after two decades in the Mercedes-Benz portfolio, but the spirit of the model will live on in the newly-named and freshly facelifted SLC range.

The Mercedes-Benz SLK will soon be no more. In its place will be the Mercedes-Benz SLC convertible, which CarAdvice has learned will be revealed at the 2016 Detroit auto show.

The facelifted Mercedes-Benz SLK has been spotted again, this time in what looks like AMG Sport trim. In line with the company's policy to rename its sport and SUV models based on their relationship to the brand's core lineup, the updated SLK will likely wear newly minted SLC badges. Despite the name change, the SLC will sport only a light visual refresh over the final-ever SLK-branded models...
Car Advice's spy photographers have managed to capture a prototype of the facelifted Mercedes-Benz SLK roadster. As far as facelifts go, this one will be pretty mild.

In August we saw the first pictures of the “C197” testing in the States, now we have even more pictures of what will surely be Mercedes answer to the growing number of German supercars. The “Mercedes Gullwing” has often been referred to as the SLC, but we’re expecting the production version to have a new name and quite possibly sit under the AMG brand...
It has been a year since the first “C197” was spotted testing in the States, at that time it was a cobbled together mule with several Viper parts bolted on. This time – with obvious gullwing doors – this would be considered an early or developmental prototype...
