Sorry, I wasn't suggesting it was a convertible top, if that's the way I came 
across. I just commented about the top because it was butt ugly. The "frame" it 
seems to have makes it look even worse.

It appears to me that is a fabric top applied to the normal metal top, just
like a vinyl top, only with convertible top material that has simulated top
bows .. Rear window treatment of some kind to alter the visual shape of the
rear window, exterior and interior, thus giving it street cred as a
convertible sedan...
I'll bet a 1/5 of single malt it's not a convertible, but made to make you

Re: [MBZ] I don't get this

[Clay Monroe via Mercedes]

There was discussion of this in a recent Sports Car Market mag (12/18) about 
investment vs. enjoyment of supercars.  My take away was that a real car lover 
drives his vehicle and extracts maximum enjoyment in use of the tool, with the 
tool will just plop down a stack of cash and store away the investment until he 
tires of having it around, or acquired it for the sole purpose of flipping it 
for a quick buck.  There are many example of flippers who paid at the peak of 
the market and now being stuck with something with diminished valuation because 
the poor car keeps being shopped around to auction after auction with no sales, 
and either came off BaT or ends up on BaT.
