Default 2010 E class convertible .

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.

It's the same with the prices of the previous C-class based CLK. So basically, they are just renaming the CLK the E-class coupe/convertible without it being an actual E-class coupe/convertible ...

it really doesnt matter what platform it is on. its the same with toyota/lexus. As long as it has a mercedes badge on it, it doesnt really matter what they do. lol. its not like the c class platform is "inferior" in any way

Yes, the topic of Mercedes naming/numbering conventions and honesty was discussed in another thread.

also, there are many parts shared between the current C and new E.

I'll wait to see a better picture, I have a feeling this doesn't do it justice.
