I have to disagree with you guys on this one. The CL Cabrio while a natural fit, is also predictable. Mercedes need the ODC convertible to put some exclusivity back into the brand. Pretty much in the same way the CLK63 AMG Black Series does. Mercedes needs something stunning that no other German or any other brand has, the ODC would be it. At least for a few years until someone else builds a 4-door convertible. They can't do both and IMO since they've shown the ODC as a design study it is the one we'll see in a few years. It has happened before.
