Hate it when ppl call the SL and SLK roofs "soft top" - Benzworld.org

Oh well... it does lead to an interesting discussion on explaining vario roof technology etc [:)]

on the other side of the coin, I have freinds who thought my car was a hard-top. Then once I arrived with the roof down, and my friends thought I had 2 cars, exactlly the same colour.... they didn't realise it was a "soft-top"

Discussion? For me it's an opportunity to pull the remote out of my pocket and demonstrate. They're usually impressed!

as my '03 32 rarely gets looked at when the top is going up or down.

I've had groups of people give me a round of applause after raising/lowering the roof on the SLK32 in a crowded parking lot [:)]

.... people are still amazed and impressed by the roof mechanism. Come to think of it, so am I !! [8D]

I still get people watching. Before owning this car, I had never seen the roof in operation, except for at the dealership.

I think it's still pretty cool.
