Cool S-class convertible
Not really beautiful this convertible.
And, by the way, I find the next-generation S class also not really beautiful.
The interior looks like a BMW
Anyway. I live in the south of France and we can see S Class at every corner of the street (unfotunately most of the time in diesel ). It's a sight for sore eyes !

A convertible? Yuck... not my style on such a class.

Don't like it much.

4 door drop top, not a bad concept, but wrong car.

The concept seems very good. But it's not the right car for it.

Maybe if he converted a CL to a convertible...but definitely not an S class. Speaking of which, I wonder why MB doesn't offer a convertible option for the CL?

I think it would look really nice if Mercedes created a hart-top convertible option similar to that of the SL and SLK. I've never really liked soft top convertibles to begin with. Thanks for the pics.

Even if the CL was a hard-top convertible, it's a completely different car compared to the SL. Exterior and interior. So no it wouldn't KILL the SL.

Yes, but some that require a need for a 4 seater would most likely go for the CLK, if the CL was available in convertible, I'm guessing CL sales would be higher than the SL's.
