Basking in the glory of their sales success, Mercedes has announced today
theyve gotten off to a good start in the 2008 "convertible season." Take,

145,000 customers have opted for the luxury roadster, with more than 8,000
SLs delivered this year alone. Of these, half are headed for the U.S.,

units of the SLK have been delivered, with some 20,000 customers opting
for the SLK-Class just this year (one-third of which are German bound).
