Absolutely atrocious top chop! The boot lid should sit flush with the lines of the car like on the SL. Definitely not worth it! The conversion cost will exceed the value of the car and you get ZIP back on resale! Wait until MBZ comes out with a FACTORY AMG CL roadster to compete with the Bentley GTC!

Hideous. The top needs to stow completly below the cover and the cover should not interrupt the lines from the front fender to the rear bumper.

MBZ actually had one done as a tester of interest several years ago. Top was completely stored. Completely flat behind the rear seats, just like an SL. Fabric top. Looked beautiful. I wanted it, but they never did okay the run.

You're feeling a lot more diplomatic than I. I would actually sum up that convertible with one word:
