I can't help it but be doubtful about this. It would be very nice to see it become a reality though. I guess it's the computerized picture that's really throwing me off. If it does get produced, I hope we, people in the US, do get a chance to get our hands on it.

Seems that it would defeat the purpose of the SL, as both would have the Hard tops?

Looks kind of odd. I mean the body of the CL just looks too big to be a convertible. $0.02
