King Of Convertible Elegance

[GTA45E]

Vote and discuss which convertible you think is best looking and which you would buy
and spend time in on the weekends ( or a Sunday picnic with your girlfriend or wife)

I should have added the Jag XK but I don`t think that would change anything.

I have long thought the SL was the best car Mercedes build - that's what I'd have.

The BMW looks fantastic in that picture - very seductive.

I know some people hate the Bentley ......actually some members (not mentioning anybody here Merc1) seem to have some kind of fixated hatred, resulting in violent outbursts of uncontrollable rage, towards that car ....personally, I don't think it's so bad ...but it's not for me.

 

[Zafiro]

SL look the best but I would buy a 650i anyway because its not ugly but I rather be seen in a Bentely, but it cost so much compared to the others. .

Bentley GTC.

 

[MikeJ]

Three technically impressive automobiles - choose the prettiest one. SL it is.

 

[GTA45E]

Give me the SL550! That car is so elegant and beautiful in real life! it`s still amazing to me.

 

[Mark]

I'll take all three of them please.

BTW, there's something odd on that 650i picture GTA... it looks like a photoshoped image, it has some lines on the hood that are just not right...

See these pics:

 

[GTA45E]

Hmm, I didn`t notice those lines. It`s really hard trying to find 650i droptop
pix online. I even looked for wallpapers with no luck.

Bentley GTC.

Huh, I don't get it - when did you suddenly become a Bentley boy Alex? ...I know your friend has a GT and you think it's really impressively built (and I would concur with you on that) .... but I'm surprised you would choose it over the Benz.

I wouldn't mind betting they are optional - that is a BMW individual car - which is like Designo for Mercedes-Benz

Thats an idea, I also see piped leather in the seats. If BMW modifies body work for the Designo type cars thats getting into some serious cash I would think.

Not to be Mb biased or anything but the SL is probably the best luxury coupe/convetible out there. The looks and the metal folding roof makes it a wainner in my eyes.

I see you missed a lot. There been a some threads were Alex explain his love for Bentley (he consider replacing his CL55 with a Bentley), sometimes he sounds like he is obsessed with Bentley

When it comes to design its simply the best, even a BMW fan realize that

Yes I have missed a lot ...I have been very busy - wow, that is interesting - well it sure is a beautifully made car and it does look impressive IRL.

Hmm, I afraid that's not the case Roberto. Here's a pic from BMW International website. The BMW Individual 6 Series Convertible doesn't have that on the hood (and that's good, cause IMO, that makes it look too bulky, not as refined as the real thing).

[NarutoRamen]

SL for me please....it is definitely the best looking not to mention it has what the other three don't...HARDTOP! I'm not into convertibles because to me the soft top makes the car look cheap and takes away from it's looks but the SL has the hardtop so it turns into a coupe...thats my reason for the SL.

 

[SDNR]

That is curious - that photo GTA7.5 posted is definitely not a chop though because I've seen it before at GCF's - it is an official BMW photograph.

Weird



Also, like I said, I would take the 3 of them because from this selection, all three are kings.

Let's see, I would have the Bentley Cabrio for my wife, the 6er to share, and I would keep the SL for me. No more sedans!!

GTA, if you decide to make it a poll, make it with 'multiple choices' cause I'm voting all 3!

 

[Yperion]

I like all three but since SL is starting to grow old compared to the newer competition so i would take a 650. The GTC is nice also.
