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.

ummmm, because it would KILL the SL! Plus, aren't the sales for the SL going good?

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.
