Luxury convertibles are a mixed lot.
Some have hardtops, some are ragtops.
Some seat four (on paper, at least) and some are two-seaters.
The SLK's competition hits it from all these angles.
The BMW Z4 is right in its wheelhouse, and if anything, it's a little more evocative in its styling and its balanced performance.
The Porsche Boxster--and the hardtop Cayman version--are brilliant mid-engine performers with the steering and chassis dynamics of cars twice as expensive, and they're among our top choices in the segment.
For left-field alternatives, we'd look at the Infiniti G37 Convertible, a folding-hardtop affair with luxurious fittings and good, if not great, performance.
And reaching upward in price, there's always the suave Jaguar XK convertible, a pavement-rippling performer as a base coupe or convertible, or a throaty growler in supercharged XKR form.
