I think this is a great idea. The will and ability to offer luxury cars in configurations that would be simply unfeasible and ridiculous for other brands to attempt is what makes Mercedes Benz stand above the crowd. A 4-door convertible sounds really off the wall, but it's been done before, and the desire for such a thing surely exists in numbers large enough to justify legitimate production.

To make money off this car, Mercedes would certainly have to build off an existing platform - read, the S-Klass. I hope that there's enough cosemetic changes that it doesn't just look like a chop. I also think that the premium will be very high for this vehicle.

Can't wait to see if this thing becomes a reality.
