I mean, if it's really a "coupe," this is nothing revolutionary. Manufs chop coupe roofs all the time.. or is that not REALLY a coupe, is it mb? IS IT! but seriously, I think the CLS's faster roofline would be an easier/cleaner chop. You might even be able to make a folding hardtop..... Why not start with a CLS instead?

Who let the Chrysler designer pen a Mercedes??? Unfortunately this piece of "S" - ha ha, will sell. To rappers and football players. What exactly is the point of Maybach again? This thing looks like a maybach, everyone criticizes GM for badge engineering but what about this??? p.s. - Chris Bangle is a genius. Finally some design! Everyone has copied him, so he's done something right. Lexus, you guys are the worst. Its so obvious you've ditched Mercedes and are now copying BMW. Good move though, cuz Mercedes stinks. But why not buy the real thing instead of a camry or avalon spinoff??? Wow. Who let the Chrysler designer pen a Mercedes??? Unfortunately this piece of “S” – ha ha, will sell.
