Cabriolet [kab-ree-uh–ley] noun

- The epitome of a luxury cabriolet. Nothing better!
For most people the price willbe the starting point, but there are more factors! For example, the C43 and the E400 would be similar in price. However, they have very different personalities! The C43 is aggressive where the E400 is smooth. Do you want exhaust note? That is the C43!
The S-Class might be twice the price of the E400 but itcould be the only cabriolet you ever buy! It is a classic. There is absolutely nothing in the looks, power, interior or overall feel that could be better! Spend more now, but never say goodbye!
All of these cabriolet are equipped with amazing technology. I am personally a huge fan of the AIRCAP andintegrated wind diffuser. TheAIRCAP pops up just about the windshield and directs the airhigher, over the passengers and then the diffuser blocks it from swirling back inside.
Airscarf is another top-down must-have. This neck level vent directs warm air over your neck and shoulders, making it comfortable to be top-down to very low temperatures.
The Mercedes-Benz soft-top itself is also fantastic. There is minimal wind noise and it looks so rich!
While I am at it…I ran across this site while I was googling and will now be using it for all of my Mercedes Technology References.
