5. 2020 Mercedes-Benz 550 SL

Back in the 1950s, Mercedes-Benz brought two models to the USA: the 300SL, which offered sports performance and style but at a price, and the 190 SL, which was a great choice for those inspired by the 300SL but happy to enjoy a top-quality roadster in the same tradition. The lineage from the 190 SL's W121 model to the 550 SL's R231 is fairly direct and more of a continuous reinvention than a respin of an old classic. The 300 SL parallel track might be seen in models such as the SLS AMG, which also featured gullwing doors up to 2015.
