Oh that's better, though I still don't see the point, it will be compromised by trying to cover both segments.

Some interesting info on Motor Trend today from a Mercedes round table discussion:
"Demand for a plug-in coupe or convertible is not as high as it is for the sedan and wagon. That is an offshoot of the overall sales mix between body styles: the sedan and wagon account for 60-70 percent of global sales; the coupe about 17 percent and the cabrio makes up the rest. Germany is the most important market for the cabrio, followed by the U.K. For the coupe, the largest market is China, followed by the U.K. and U.S. But the smaller C-Class convertible outsells the E-Class cabrio in all markets.
While convertibles are the smallest slice of the pie, Mercedes remains committed to the body style. "E-Class convertible is very important for us," said E-class Chief Engineer Michael Kelz. "I can assure you that our future will keep the cabriolet in this class. It's in the heart of Mercedes... I'm pretty sure that you will see another one in the future." But executives would not comment on the possibility of an all-electric convertible based on the EQ architecture in the future."
Pretty much like I thought. I left out the obvious part about NO V8 coming......

Otherwise gorgeous, the rear sideglass (with its' peg) simply KILLS the visual buzz for me. That's why I much prefer the immaculate cabriolet.
Looking at these images brings peace to my soul. Onne of the best examples of Sensual Purity

The front end of this car is def the weakest part. The headlights of the E look worse than before. Bug eyed.
