Why are companies still making soft tops? I feel like it's ruining an otherwise great car. Especially, at $120k+ a retractable hardtop is a necessity.

The only possible exception is the 991, where they have the decency to cover the folding hardtop with cloth, because, you know, it looks better. Plus you retain storage space when the roof is folded, there's a lot less squeaks and rattles and it just looks like a convertible is supposed to look. Rolls, Bentley, the S Class convertible all wear soft tops. Why take a plastic accordion to that fight? |

A necessity at $120k, eh? Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Porsche, Lamborghini, Jag, Audi, and every Mercedes except the SL (which is switching to a softop, too) would disagree with you. For a hardtop convertible at $120k+ there's a couple of Ferrari's and McLaren's, and... that's it.

I think the car looks gorgeous. My only other gripe besides the wind deflector is BMW needs to offer some "wow" factor with the interior -- galvanize the interior buttons and offer some more colorful, contrasting combinations. I'm sure it's well made and the materials are top notch, but visually the S-class convertible just poops all over it. |

OK this will seem silly ... BUT, at the end of the first video, the usual middle aged white guy they use for these adverts closes the door USING THE TOP OF THE DOOR GLASS and not the handle. This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine and whenever a passenger would do this to close the door to my car I'd cringe because it would inevitably leave smudge marks on the top of the glass. I suppose if you can afford a house like that you've got servants who would take care of such things. (And you'd have a Bentley or Aston)

Mercedes S 560 Cabriolet's curb weight is 4795 lbs and priced at $133,000 with 0-60 in 4.5 secs. The AMG S 65's curb weight is 4938 lbs and priced at $180,000 with 0 - 60 in 3.4 secs When compared to the two MB models above, the BMW's 850i convertible has the lowest weight and cheapest price with performance that sits just between the two. With design being subjective, I think it can steal some market share. |
