Spy Shots: Mercedes-Benz E-Class convertible

I think it looks pretty good. If it's at all like the coupe, should be a nice step up from the CLK. Too bad there's no AMG

The engineers at Mercedes-Benz are working tirelessly to get the all-new E-Class cabrio ready for its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show. So much so that they appear to be bringing dates along for a ride in the chop-topped mules.

These newest shots of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Convertible are the first we've seen with the cloth top stowed away, and they reveal an interesting detail: a retractable wind deflector mounted on the top of the windshield.

Like Audi, Mercedes has opted to forgo the folding hard-top treatment for the new E, allowing the automaker to retain the coupe's hard-edged style and keep the curb weight in check. When the E-Class Convertible arrives in dealerships early next year, expect a range of six- and eight-cylinder powerplants, including the range-topping E500.

Ghastly imo.

Looks cheap and tacky.

I'll give them some credit for going soft top. I have to see one in the flesh to decide.

No good.. The sedan version is alright I think, at least it has some class. Taking the roof off just completely rips it of that.

Is there still a CLK cabrio?

The Back looks nice ... but the sides and what you can make out of the front don?t work for me ...

btw ... testdriver got his GF to go along ... and she (from the looks of it) doesn?t like it ... so who are we to judge
