It's an awesome car, the kind that people who want to stay (relativeley) obscure drive. show offs drive SLs, people who appreciate confort and style drive CLs I doubt they’ll do it.The CL already weighs more than the S class due to the extra bracing required due to lack of B pillar; chop the roof off and you’ll need and extra 100-200kg of bracing!

Plus, now that the SL is a hard-top convertible, it's already clashing with the CL coupe, now we're going to have the CL coupe, CL convertible, AND the SL (which is both coupe and convertible)? How many premium coupe lines does M-B need! Wouldn’t the CL convertible be in the same territory as the SL?

Although I see a lot of high-end cars everyday…just today: Lotus Elise (ok, ok, not ‘high-end’, but rare), Ferrari 612, and 2 Bentley Continental GT’s, so maybe I’m sensitized to high-end cars. Jon.
