Mercedes-Benz SL
Luxury doesn’t get much classier than this. This slick roadster has a rounded exterior and sleek, angular styling. A long hood sets the passenger compartment back, lending a look of elegance. Ventilation grilles with chromed fins define the trademark Mercedes, though its bold design is nothing like the company’s traditional luxury vehicles. The car is made entirely from aluminum, which significantly reduces weight, while the addition of high-strength steel doesn’t compromise safety. It has the pep of a sports car, going from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. Retailing for $105,000, it won’t be within everyone’s budget, but for those who can afford it, this car clearly makes a statement.
