I too have pondered the thought of a CL convertable. I mean, come on, they're Mercedes-Benz! They have a vehicle for every niche you can think of. If you need a perticular ttpe of car or truck, I guarentee Mercedes has a vehicle in that niche. So why no CL convertable? I suppose they thought that if you have the money for a CL, but want a convertable, you'd buy an SL. But The CL is such a classy coupe that Mercedes may not want to sacrifice the CL's image. But who knows why. The 07 CL (spy pics are already floating around the internet) could introduce a convertable counterpart to the CL coupe. And just for the hell of it, why not make a hard top SL without the retractable roof?
