SLK Gullwing (!) in 2011/2012???
OK folks, don't shoot the messager however the British automotive website Auto Express has posted a story about MB bringing out a baby Gullwing based on the SLK in 2011 or 2012. It gets better: it's a hybrid with a 3.5L engine, 120 mile battery range.
Has anyone even heard a whisper about this? I sure haven't until today and although I'd have my checkbook ready if/when the time comes, I'm not holding my breath authenticity of the report.

Here is the complete story including photo renderings:
