In recent years, Mercedes has been rumored to be using the SLC name on the SLS AMG and later the AMG GT, and while these rumors have proven to be just that, the classic moniker (originally used from 1971 to 1981) will officially make its return to the Mercedes lineup later this year as a renamed and refreshed update of the existing SLK-Class. Mercedes has yet to say when or where the 2017 Mercedes SLC-Class will be revealed, but judging by a recent set of spy shots, it’s very likely we will see a debut in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
It’s obvious that the changes are little more than a mid-cycle update to the current third-gen SLK, which was introduced for the 2012 model year, so it isn’t likely that there will be too many surprises popping up on this SLC-Class. The new name does fit in with Mercedes’ new naming convention that has marked the return of the S-Class Coupe as well as an almost completely renamed SUV lineup.
