And it's always 'a published report'- published from where? I've never seen it..Glassjaw's never seen it...the numerous other MB people on here have never seen this 'published report'..at one time they said 'yes..there will be a convertible SLR'..now they are saying no..mostly due to the breakdown with Mclaren, and they (Mclaren) saying that the partnership is over..Doubt away, and I hope I am wrong here, and they fix it up and build it, but I go on what they send us in print as the gospel- and when they print it, knowing it can be reproduced, it is usually..read back through the archives...when MB annouced no more SLRs to the US..I posted it, when they announced 24 722s..I posted it..and people can check me on that.
There are pics from inside Mclaren on the web..spyshots of everything everywhere..you don;t think a droptop SLR pic (if it was coming to Geneva); wouldn;t have surfaced somewhere?

Mercedes confirms drop-top SLR plans

Mercedes has officially confirmed it will build a convertible version of the McLaren SLR, according to a published report.
Zero to 60 mph will take under four seconds, and a top speed of 200 mph will still be possible. The SLR roadster will arrive this summer,
with a possible debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, according to The Car Connection.

The new model will closely resemble the Mercedes-Benz Vision SLR concept (pictured), which debuted at the 1999 Frankfurt Motor Show,
nine months after the coupe prototype was unveiled at the Detroit auto show.

I absolutely hate that interior, I hope they dont use it... Also will it have a rag top or metal top? Wait and see.

Anyway, pics...
