For a few weeks now we have heard that Mercedes and Aston Martin would be working with each other to create a new kind of car. Something that would surprise us and take the auto world by storm. This week we have received news that they have officially partnered up.
Mercedes and Aston Martin have partnered together to create cars that will be given brand new technology and a whole new platform that both of their designs have created. Because of this new partnership we won’t be surprised to see Mercedes buying a stake in Aston Martin.
Mercedes is making up for the poor reaction that was given to the SLR McLaren. Mercedes was hoping to attract consumers with the SLR – but they forgot a key ingredient that every Mercedes-Benz owner looks for – power. The design of the car was truly impressive – but without the right amount of power it doesn’t make it a true Mercedes. Not to mention consumer aren’t willing to pay a hefty amount for something that only looks good.
Mercedes-Benz is going to be changing things up a bit and will be giving the SLK a new look. They are adding a glass roof to the hardtop convertible on the SLK just like the one that can be found on the SL. The only thing that is different from the two piece roof is that the C-pillar has been changed. Mercedes is now giving SLK owners a chance to truly enjoy the summer.
