New E-class convertible is a stunning car. Looks like a better buy than the S-class and C-class convertibles, it's the sweet spot of Mercedes dream cars

They'll be making some of these in South Africa.

In this rare instance I prefer the cab over the coupe.

I quite like the E Coupe, but the Cabriolet looks even better. However, this car is very color-dependent. I think lighter colors give it an enlongated look that almost captures the grandeur of the S Cab, while darker colors give it a stubbier, almost bull-dog look, especially in that red-wine color.

I'd take this in silver with a blue top (I have to have blue somewhere). I hope they do offer the interior leather in blue.

The coupe looks fantastic,only thing I find off putting is that the rear tires remind me of a tricycle due to its proportions. I don't get those vibes from the cab.

Gee wiz that is such a sexy looking car. From any angle it is a beauty, the rear end looks so clean and at least now doesn't have a surfboard long boot like the previous foldaway hard top models did

While most certainly a very beautiful automobile, there appears to be "something" about the C238s' exterior design that prevents it from being immaculate. The strip that segments the rear-quarter side glazing on the coupe seems to disturb the flow. Although it is argued that it is a "necessity" due to the position of the fuel-tank filling port, I cannot help but think that M-B could have created a far more elegant solution. What they have presented leaves a somewhat rancid flavor of afterthought. Obviously, this particular bit of criticism applies to the coupe only.

What applies to both coupe and convertible is the degree of vertical mass between the top of the rear wheel arches and shoulder line, giving the car that "tricycle" appearance. Gordon Wagener declared creases as "a thing of the past". But are they ? The W213s' nuanced shoulder crease benefits the cars appearance, diminishing visual mass where it would otherwise make the car look "pudgy". And it looks like this crease will be found adorning the flanks of the soon-to-be-introduced CLS successor. I suspect that it would have worked well on the C238 as well.

The S cabrio look likes the elder statesman

WOW, nice. May not get to see all of these together again during the next generations.

The color looks much better under the sun.

The color looks much better under the sun.

It actually looks quite nice under the showrooms' artificial light.

But again, this photograph is a reminder of just how spec-sensitive the C238 is. While running some errands this morning, a black C238 cabriolet rolled along directly next to my driver side in heavy traffic. A no frills, non-AMG package example with rather basic alloy rims. Very plain looking offering little if anything to catch the eye.

It looks quite subtle under showroom lights but you can see the extra depth and subtle shift in color under natural lighting.

I think MB Australia made the correct choice and make the AMG line as standard for all coupes and convertibles.

To follow up on my previous posts, here it is under the sun. Ruby red I assume, looks fantastic, and it really works well with the design.

Simply gorgeous. This and the S560 cabrio are perfect. That color is amazing.
