There's no getting through the Mercedes-Benz prototype armor. It's the defacto camouflage for almost all of the company's prototypes these days and it does a fine job of masking the true shape of its upcoming products.
Case in point, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK. It's getting a full redesign yet this prototype just looks like a mangled mess of sheetmetal. If anything, this test mule confirms that the retractable hardtop will remain.
Recent information on Mercedes' future product lineup obtained by Inside Line suggests that this SLK will debut sometime next year. The engine range in the U.S. will most likely feature a normally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 on base models and a smaller displacement, turbocharged V6 for the top-end version.

Good news. I just wish that Mercedes re-worked their bread-and-butter 3.5L V6 to be more powerful and advanced. Other than that, nice autos by Benz.
