But for me, I like both!!! ( Volvo C70 & BMW 645Ci ) A normal CLS50 will be good enough for me if I got the money...... Hard top, soft top, buyers decide……

Peugeot's succeeded at it with the 407 hardtop, so it's only natural that other carmakers are having a go at it too. When something new comes out, it's generally regarded as weird, but with time, it becomes the norm. I think that shall be the case with 4 door coupes ala CLS too.

I thought only the French are the silly-est in the world. The convertible has always about 2 persons in a roof off vehicle. not this oversized S class. So, that's summed things up. ugly and mad germans. ps- someone mentioned the Arabs will buy that. yeah, if they do, than its ugly and mad germans selling cars to stupid and silly arabs. these germans have gone mad.

Some people buy sedans wishing it is a convertible. Some like convertibles, but they find it not practical and easily-accesible enough for their family. So yea, I think there's a market for such cars, albeit a small one :p And I agree, canvas tops are sooooo yesterday, makes the car look like some grandpa model compared to all the sleek hardtop models.

But not so weird for a family of four maybe even five... Come to think of it, canvas roofs are becoming yesterday's news... But then again, 2 doors would be enough like the Volvo C70 and also VW Eos...
