Guys,

I have been enjoying my wonderful Volvo C70 for some 15 years now (with almost 300k kilometers on it and virtually zero problems). Yet it may be time to finally replace it with something newer, since even normal maintenance starts to get expensive.

Problem is: with a larger family now, I cannot just buy a 2-seater convertible - it has to have four seats at least. And where I live, AWD is basically a requirement to avoid skidding - also I am not a big fan of soft tops, though I realize that their reliability has improved a lot in the last decades.

So what are my options here? Just BMW and Mercedes? Which ones? Is there a AWD cabrio Maserati, for instance? Any thoughts?
