Ok... I can stop drooling... or maybe i cant!   The author complains about convertibles not being pure... got to say I agree with him.  I have never enjoyed the convertible as you just give so much in the terms of handling and car ability, but as the author notes, I would be willing to do it for this fine ride.   A non-enthusiest might not give this a second glance, but for those in the know, this car has what it takes.  notice the exhaust, the suspension etc and you will see this car is no ordinary Mercedes.   The finely tuned Mercedes Suspension helps keep the power delivered by the massive engine on the ground, while the Mercedes Control Arms support the suspension in that effort.   Doubt i will see one of these in my driveway soon, but I can certainly hope!
