Will the S-class coupe/cabriolet now become collectibles?

PORSCHE PANAMERA TURBO LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO SL600 E55 BRABUS*SOLD*
No matter what you and I say, the convertible isn’t attractive and if you think the coupe didn’t sell well, then look at the convertible’s sales. All coupe sales are off, including 4 drs. Only Mercedes has been able to keep their sales up but my friend who is head of the Cadillac Design Team, tells me that NO cars are selling very well, especially coupes. He was telling me that Camry sales are off 84%. Now that everyone has fallen into the SUV craze, cars are no longer in vogue but as gas prices rise, all those SUV buyers who don’t drive a hybrid or electric version are going to regret buying them, especially where gas is now over 5 dollars a gallon.
I think majority would disagree that the convertible isn’t attractive. I think it’s actually quite stunning when you see them on the road.
It’s a unique vehicle in the segment compared only to the Bentley GT convertible and to me it looks better. I’m actually in the market for one and think it’s a bargain in the 72-75K range for low miles 17’s.
Long term value and depreciation from here on out who knows.

Regardless of personal preference and if the convertible is or is not attractive (compared to the coupe), with these kind of cars, the trade in value of convertibles (cabriolets, roadsters, volante, and all other names used for it) normally is less sensitive for (long-term) deprication than the coupe versions of the same car. This is valid also for Bentley's, Aston Martins, but also Audi's, BMW's and Mercedes.
