I'm six hours into my first drive of Mercedes' new SLK and after spending most of them on the fabulous, twisting mountain roads of Majorca it's time to head back to base for the inevitable debrief with the project engineers. Most of them have lived and breathed the baby Benz for the last three years so any sort of criticism is taken almost personally.
Hellmut Polz is product manager of the new SLK and he tells me that its main benchmark rivals were the BMW Z4 and Porsche Boxster. It's pretty obvious he's chuffed with the result, especially with what he claims are the class-leading dynamics of the SLK compared with its two deadly rivals.
