Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Announces the Arrival of the all new 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK

KANSAS CITY, MO--(Marketwire - 06/20/11) - Aristocrat Motors and Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City announced the arrival of the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class (http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicles/class/class-SLK).

The all-new SLK-Class leads boldly into a new era. From winning the first auto race to pacing Formula One, the course of sports-car history has long been guided by the Three-Pointed Star. Its iconic grille and signature power hardtop make the 2012 SLK-Class a rich racing heritage of Mercedes-Benz sports cars. Leading with an aggressive new design, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class draws on its racing pedigree to redefine the roadster experience. The result is an exhilarating vehicle engineered for escaping the everyday with the top down and the throttle open (http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicles/gallery/class-SLK).

A new-generation engine delivers more power, richer torque, cleaner emissions and greater efficiency. Its new 3.5L V-6, SLK350 is quick from 0 to 60, advanced rapid-multispark ignition fires up to four times in a millisecond and new high-pressure Direct Injection micro-manages the fuel spray as fast as 0.1 millisecond. Additionally, it is the world's first 7-speed automatic transmission re-engineered for performance that's more responsive and more efficient.

Paddle shifters let you control gear changes without taking your hand from the 3-spoke steering wheel. The lowered, sport-tuned 4-wheel multilink suspension of the SLK provides the ideal balance of sharp handling, surefooted control and smooth comfort. Speed-sensing power steering with our innovative Direct-steer system offers quicker cornering response, crisper on-center feel and easier low-speed maneuvers.

Soave Enterprises, a Detroit-based holding company, entered automotive retailing 15 years ago. Soave Automotive Group has grown to a dozen franchises in Kansas and Missouri. From the luxury brands of Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Land Rover, Range Rover, Saab, Maserati, Porsche, smart and a Pre-Owned department, featuring those and other luxury brands retailed by Aristocrat Motors and Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City, which offers Mercedes-Benz, Sprinter, smart and Airstream motor homes. This group's talented employees offer the one thing all customers deserve and expect: excellent customer service (http://www.aristocratmotors.com and http://www.mb-kc.com).

According to the post, Mercedes-Benz is one of the most awarded premium vehicle manufacturers ever. The company’s latest in its long list of achievements is the awarding of AUTO BILD magazine’s Design Award to the Mercedes-Benz SLK.

2011 Mercedes-Benz New Model Preview

2011 marks a very special year for Mercedes-Benz. 125 years ago, Karl Benz filed the patent for the first automobile. Now, one and a quarter century later, Mercedes-Benz has become the standard of excellence in the motoring world. To commemorate this landmark year, Mercedes-Benz is releasing several new models for the United States market.

2012 Mercedes SLK

Debuting in the beginning of May 2011, Mercedes-Benz will introduce the new SLK, our smallest convertible. Featuring an all-new design, as well as an array of new options, the 2012 SLK will provide the highest level of luxury, while offering the same thrill as every convertible bearing the Mercedes name. It will also feature an available panorama roof, that automatically tints itself at driver command.

2012 Mercedes CLS

Also coming out in May, the 2012 Mercedes CLS will be arriving. This second-generation vehicle is a redesign of the previous CLS, a car that set a world standard for design, and showed how a four door coupe is not only possible, but breathtaking.

2012 Mercedes C-Class Coupe

Closer to Fall 2011, Mercedes-Benz will release the 2012 C-Class coupe, a two-door version of the popular Mercedes-Benz sedan. This new available feature combines all of the luxury and performance of the C-Class with the sporting ability and styling of a coupe.

Additionally, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class will be debuting in the Fall, offering a redesign of our most popular SUV. Combining versatility, luxury, and sportiness, the new M-Class will be the perfect vehicle for any situation.
