I don't think this kind of cars is made to have a convertible version

[man 430gt]

Yuk..

[:Exige:]

Well Bentley haven't done badly with the Arnage Convertible (sp?). Some people like wind in their hair ... it's a great car and I think people will actually lap it up, even if it's not your typical car for taking the top off of.

Makes about as much sense as the CLS

[Cotterik]

how far back does that guy have his seat?

Why wouldn't they make the CL into a convertible? Seeing as it's essentially a coupe version of the S class, it'd make so much more sense. And I can't imagine that thing having very good body rigidity

About as far back as I have mine.

Isn't the SL meant to cover this area of the market?

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Does the SL have 4 doors and 4 seats?

You're two seats short. Actually, the CL is supposed to do that, a four seater with cabriolet roof.

[Kooper]

What next? A convertible E500 Estate?


ADDED: Or is that E550 these days?

[Birdman]

Thanks for the correction guys!

Look closer and you'll see the illustrated convertible has four doors. So essentially it's a decapitated S-class sedan, and not from the CL two-door

Mercedes hasn't offered that bodystyle in a long time - IIRC their last drop-top sedan was the big 600 Laundelet (spl?)

The attached Bob Jane Landaulet in the 2nd link is a local car, now owned by Lindsay Fox. When near new it was on the cover & mini-tested by Modern Motor magazine. Check the quality of the interior woodwork on these cars, its just spectacular!
