Mercedes Benz

AutoBILD reports that a new Mercedes-Benz cabriolet might be launched around 2010.


We talk about about a C-Klasse W204 based model, that according to some insiders, will probably receive the CLR moniker. The powertrain, the engines(from 170 up to 306 HP), the safety equipment and other clever technologies, the materials, the dashboard and the basic exterior design, all of them are to be borrowed from the mid-sized premium limousine.

UPDATE:Going back into history, we learn that the CLR name was already used by the specially prepared, racing version of the 1999 W208 CLK-Klasse. So, is highly unlikely that Mercedes-Benz will use once again the CLR badge.
