Here is a nice review of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet we found over at Ezine.  As I’m sure you all know by now, the Cabriolet made its big screen debut in Sex and the City 2!  I wonder what’s next for our beloved E-Class Cabriolet?

Comfort and Class With Mercedes Benz E-Class Cabriolet

By Alexei Timchuk

The E-Class Cabriolet comes with a four-seater design as the Coupe model, using a folding canvas roof for an open air experience. E-Class alternatives, known as CLK, are a simplified line-up of Mercedes Benz. Its name is timely as it gives an open top luxury sedan feel, having a deluxe and welcoming interior and posh exterior. Air turbulence is reduced by the AirCap system, the leather-bound interior has climate control and belt busters to give front seat passengers a relaxing feeling, and rear headrests and AirScarf system keeps the neck warm at all times. Its good value costs good money, with good equipment and quality.

It can accommodate four adults sitting comfortably with sculpted rear seats. Luggage for four can also be placed on the boot, when the roof is in place. There is a decent size glove box, center space, door pockets in the front, and cup holders are provided for at the rear seats.

The Air Cap system, featuring a lip that extends from the top of the widescreen with the roof down and directs airflow to the occupants is introduced with the traditional, lighter canvas roof. The E-Class Cabriolet is one of the most sophisticated open tops, with the roof opening in less than 20 seconds and up to 20 mph and has acoustic qualities when stationary. With the latest technical novelty, a range of economical diesels and powerful petrol are offered with engine options.

A little memorization of the control layout of the E-Class lets the user access astonishing features. A single row of buttons along the lower portion of the centre console takes a little familiarization. The main control interface behind the gear lever is easy to manage.

Standard alarm and immobilizer system when added up with a tracking system gives security assurance. A pop-up rollover protection, seven airbags, head bags, with Pre-safe that anticipates accidents, Attention Assist that monitors signs of drowsiness from the driver assures safety with the E-Class.

Although it is relatively large in size, the E-Class Coupe can be a good deal of fun and excitement. It is sure-footed and quick to respond, keeping scuttle shakes to a minimum. The E-Class Cabriolet can be considered a family car, a child seat is somewhat exasperating to mount and dismount at the rear. Because of its roomy characteristic, classy style and luxurious cost, the E-Class Cabriolet is best for an executive option.

The 2010 E-Class sedan has already been unveiled to the public. The other variation, know as the E-Class Coupe has yet to be seen without some sort of camouflage on it. Some spy shots as of today have made their way to the web. This recent batch of pictures shows quite a bit less camouflage and some badging on the trunk which upon closer inspection, reveals the model to be an E500.
